Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (Also known as Book of the Dead and Naturom Demonto in the original Evil Dead franchise) is the antagonistic object in the Evil Dead franchise. It has power to harness The Force's ability to control both the dead and Deadites, as well as summon The Force itself.
History[]
First appearing in the film The Evil Dead, the Necronomicon has become very popular in modern cult horror and one of the few antagonists of said cult horror films to have such notoriety. It is most easily recognized and envisioned in later material based on its appearance and habit of having teenagers 'activate' its powers. In The Evil Dead, it was called the Naturom Demonto: The Book of the Dead. In the other two films its name was changed to Necronomicon Ex-Mortis.
Trivia[]
- The Necronomicon was created by H.P. Lovecraft and was first briefly mentioned in his 1924 short story The Hound, and continued to appear in other stories, but it was later given it's own short story in 1927 titled: History of the Necronomicon.
