The EVIL Book
There used to be these silly impractical contraptions made of hundreds of thin wood slices, bound together to create a physical, limited document of information that aged poorly and could never be updated. They called them books. They could also possess the living. For your consideration of the most famous haunted book capable of inducing mass possession with brutally bloody consequences, I submit to you the necronomicon from Sam Raimis Evil Dead films. Its mean, its nasty, and it has certainly has endured. Books are perfect objects for creating believable possession because they not only have history, they have ancient history. Theyve been around mankind for so long, collecting our secrets, documenting our darkest desires, why shouldnt they bee haunted? Before we leave the topic of books, heres an obligatory shout out to Hocus Pocus for any Bette Midler fans that might be reading this.
