Jun 27, 2016 · But it’s one of the most finely crafted, ambitious horror films ever made. Every ounce of effort they put into it is clear on the screen. That’s a huge part of what goes into making a low-budget feature into a long-lasting masterpiece. And at the end of the day, that’s exactly what The Evil Dead is.

- A farewell to arms. In the sequel film "Evil Dead 2," Ash is once again assaulted by the swirling forces of evil in the remote cabin. With no one left to kill aside from Ash, the deadites decide to play games with the hero and taunt him a little.
- Assault of the tiny Ashes. Speaking of small pests causing chaos and trouble for our deadite-slaying hero, we can't forget about Ash's tussle with several tiny versions of himself.
- Impressing a girl while high. We've all been there. At one point or another, we all desperately wanted to impress a crush or a smokin' hot date. In Ash's case, however, he takes things a little too far.
- Klaatu Barada Neckite! Nectar? Nickel. Let's be honest, Ash isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Sure, he has a fighting spirit which gets him far, but his successes are sometimes just plain old dumb luck.
Mar 14, 2023 · "Evil Dead II" has a wealth of darkly hilarious moments to choose from, but none are as memorable as Ash's demonic game of "stop hitting yourself" with his own possessed hand.

Cheryl, The Evil Dead
Once Cheryl was possessed by a Deadite in The Evil Dead, Ash and his friends were able to lock her in the cellar. However, in one of the movie's creepiest moments, Cheryl poked her head through the chained cellar door and taunted them. What she said was terrifying and brilliant as she foretold the fate of all of them, except for Ash. As she was chained in the cellar, she said all of them would end up possessed, and then who will be left to lock someone up in the cellar? It made for one of the...
Shelly, The Evil Dead
The cast of The Evil Dead was not a group of highly-trained actors. Instead, this was mostly a college movie shot by Sam Raimi with his film school friends. While their acting wasn't as good as it would be in later movies, there was still a charm to their often stilted and awkward line readings. One of these remains memorable as Ash and his friends faced off with the possessed Cheryl in the cabin and Shelly exclaimed, "For God's sake, what happened to her eyes?" It was the first look they got...
Sheila, Army Of Darkness
The Deadites in Army of Darkness possessed Ash's love interest, Sheila after a flying Deadite abducted and transformed her into one known as Evil Sheila. This led Ash to attack the Deadites with a human army and then figure out a way to beat the evil demonic creatures once and for all. However, first, he had to face off with Evil Shiela, who then hilariously mocked him in the iconic '90s horror comedyby talking about how fun it was to be bad. Luckily, this was one rare time when Ash didn't ki...
Ash, Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn
Ash Williams realized in Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn that there was a lot more to be afraid of than the Deadites outside the cabin. While his friends had died and become possessed by the evil demonic entities, Ash realized there was a great danger in the basement itself. While in the first movie, Ash was mostly scared and on the run, he gained a lot of courage in the second movie, and he chose to go down and take on the possessed Henrietta in the cellar head-on. Ash knew Henrietta was a witch n...
Ash, The Evil Dead
No one ever really accused Ash of being the smartest person in the Evil Dead trilogy. In the first movie, he was even more clueless than his friends. After they had to kill Scotty's girlfriend Shelly after her Deadite possession, no one knew what to do. Scotty was freaked out and no one wanted to stay there anymore. When they asked what to do with Shelly, a burial was offered up and Ash exclaimed that they can't bury her because she was their friend, obviously not knowing how ridiculous those...
Henrietta, Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn
There are a handful of Deadites that appear in Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn, but Ted Raimi’s Henrietta is by far one of the most memorable. After Ash gets locked in the fruit cellar, Henrietta emerges to attack Ash, with a great Evil Dead quote. Henrietta says, "Someone's in my fruit cellar. Someone with a fresh soul!" which may or may not be a reference to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho since the climax of his film also famously took place in a fruit cellar. Whether that was Sam Raimi’s intention or...
Ash, Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn
Sam Raimi infused a lot more comedy into Evil Dead 2 than he did with the original 1981 film. One of the most iconic scenes of the sequel is when Ash’s hand becomes infected, and he goes mad trying to fight it. Bruce Campbell’s fight scene with himself allowed the actor to show off his acting ability while also filling the movie with hilarious slapstick comedy. After his hand knocks him out and drags his body across the floor, Ash stabs his hand, temporarily wounding it while he grabs his cha...
Ash, Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn
Five years after Sam Raimi released Evil Dead 2, he returned with his third film in his Evil Dead trilogy: Army of Darkness. While some people think the film may have included a bit too much comedy, it's one of the best horror/comedies of the ‘90s. To return home, Ash has to find the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. The Wise Man gives him a phrase he must say to safely collect the Book of the Dead, “Klaatu barada nikto” but Ash being Ash forgets the last word. When confronted about his mistake, Ash de...
Ash, Army of Darkness
Ash has an uphill battle in Army of Darkness, and at one point, he has to defend himself against miniature versions of himself. After trying to burn them in his stomach by drinking hot water, another Ash starts growing on the side of his body, leading to a war of words with some of the best Evil Deadquotes. Eventually, the clone splits off from Ash saying, “I'm BAD Ash... and you're GOOD Ash! You're a goody little two-shoes!” Bad Ash continues to say, “Goody little two shoes” as he takes shot...
Ash, The Evil Dead
Evil Dead II is a good example of how to mix comedy and horror, which is why most of his famous lines come from Dead by Dawn and Army of Darkness. However, one of the few memorable Ash Williams quotes in the original Evil Deadis, “Yeah, truly amazing.” The line comes when Shelly and Linda are trying to guess the cards that the other person is holding. After Linda guesses incorrectly, Shelly lies and says she is right. She excitedly tells Ash that she guessed correctly, but he is trying to foc...
