The 'Evil Dead II' Cabin Is in Pieces and Needs To Be Restored for the Fans!
The original 'Evil Dead' cabin was destroyed by lightning a week or so after Raimi and the gang finished principle photography.
Anyone who's more then a casual viewer of the Evil Dead Franchise will know there's been MULTIPLE cabins used over the 4 movies (counting the remake) and now the new Ash vs Evil Dead series.
The original Evil Dead cabin was destroyed by lightning a week or so after Raimi and the gang finished principle photography.
The first incarnation of the cursed cabin
For the first sequel, Evil Dead II, they used a different location which (sort of) matched the look of the original but became a more Gothic version now the young filmmakers had some experience.
Linda's buried close by...
Unfortunately in 2014 the cabin was mostly destroyed by a massive flood on the property that houses it and became an instant wreck. Upsetting news to say the least i think you'll agree.
However, as a MASSIVE FAN of these movies (especially Evil Dead 2), I was over joyed to find out someone had salvaged the cabin for future generations!!
Before it finally fell to the elements
Mike Pasquale (The saint) even used his own money and managed to form a relationship with the site owner to allow him to take pieces of the cabin away in the hopes that it could be reconstructed and kept alive.
He's documented his recovery operation in full at EvilDeadWorkshed.com and it would make a damn fine documentary of itself. Much like raising the Titanic, except this is something for Cult Horror fans everywhere.

Here's where you can help!
As fans of this franchise we need to unite and spread the word about this restoration campaign to bring the Evil Dead II Cabin and Workshed to an exhibit near YOU!.
Mark has started a Kickstarter campaign to raise the necessary funds to build a display that can travel around for us Deadites to enjoy for generations.
Great perks!!!
I'll be throwing a few bucks at this myself, i want an artifact from the site of my favourite Evil Dead instalment. In fact i NEED that coal from Linda's grave Dammit!!
I hope to hear more about this project as it continues......

Lideco Ghost Town Vietnam: Inside Hanoi’s Most Mysterious Abandoned City
Approximately 15 km to the west of Hà Nội city center, in Hoài Đức District, is one of the most fascinating ruin sights in Vietnam, which is the remnants of a large housing estate called Lideco Bắc 32. This location does not appear to be a typical residential area to tourists who visit there or those who hear of its existence; it is more of a ghost town.

The Evil Dead 2 cabin has already been salvaged and sold in sections. I have the certificate signed by the guy that originally built it for the film. Evildeadworkshed.com managed to salvage all the remnants. You can see the whole video of it on their website and any others sold online are fake. They are the only people given permission from the property owner. So there's nothing to build. They did rebuild the worksheet and it was on display at the anniversary of a Evil Dead
i like the idea of restoring it but i just dont want to see it destroyed or parts sold cause its ridiculous what they did to the first cabins chimney selling the bricks or what ever if your a true fan you wouldn't tamper or pull it apart but i hope you guys take good care of it
