10 Scariest Cursed Items In Horror Movie History

3.  Necronomicon - Evil Dead

An item integral to potentially hundreds of horror movies over the years, the Necronomicon has gone by many names, but The Book of the Dead is its most appropriate.

A tome, a grimoire, a generic old and sacred text found in the grotty depths of basements the world over, the Necronomicon has appeared in plenty of horror movies over the years, with the Evil Dead franchise being its most infamous. Of course, it originally was born from the mind of writer H. P. Lovecraft, but has been bastardised in excellent fashion ever since.

Able to conjure up the living dead as well as being full of plenty of other icky business, the evil book causes nothing but trouble for those that decide to do some light reading from a giant leathery book with a literal screaming face on the front. Can't really say it doesn't warn you.
