12. The Pencil
I dont know about you, but the pencil ankle gouging scene in the first Evil Dead film, at the time of first watching, was one of the goriest, most difficult to watch special effect Id ever seen. It really set the bar for me. If you dont remember or havent seen it, check it out below, but be warned; its f***ing disgusting: http://youtu.be/y3bhYH58PzA Evil Dead is about demonic possession; in that original, you might remember in the original one of Ashs party becomes increasingly obsessive toward making notes from the Necronomicon (more on
that later). Which then eventually leads to the above filth. Returning fans will no doubt have noticed the trailers early emphasis on this furious note taking party member - on quick, close up shots of the pencil - and remembered back to the above scene with teeth-grinding reluctance. Again, Raimis heavily involved here; the man knew exactly what he was doing in the originals, he knows exactly what hes doing now. Expect the pencil in the new trailer to feature more heavily in the final movie, most likely as a murder weapon. Ouch!
