A much more comedic visit to the land of the Deadites, Evil Dead II is considered by many as one of the greatest horror sequels ever made.

One blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo in the movie comes when Ash is rooting through a tool shed in order to find weapons. He misses a really famous one, as the iconic bladed glove of Freddy Krueger is hanging on the wall right behind him.

And this isn't the first time Raimi has referenced the work of Wes Craven in his output.

The glove's appearance was actually the result of a long-standing contest between the two filmmakers, as they each tried to cram in bits of each other's canon into their own films.

The first Evil Dead film contained a ripped-up poster for Craven's The Hills Have Eyes, which led to Wes including footage from that movie in A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Thankfully, this practice seemingly stopped after Evil Dead II, because we were running out of space for this entry.
