All 6 Evil Dead Necronomicon Versions & Their Differences Explained

Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead introduced the world to the Necronomicon, the Book of the Dead responsible for unleashing an indefatigable force of darkness upon a group of clueless campers, but the third film in the franchise, Army of Darkness, mentioned three different versions when de facto hero Ash traveled back in time to find evil’s source, and subsequent films have featured different Necronomicons. Whether by name, appearance, or demonic abilities, each Book of the Dead has been slightly different from one another, leading to some inconsistencies within the Evil Dead movie timeline. Throw in remakes and a television series and the Evil Dead book becomes a fixture of confusion.
