Where to start with Evil Dead

The three Ash films are one continuous change of tone from horror to slapstick, and they only work in order. The reboot line shares the book and nothing else, so it can wait or be skipped.

  1. 1
    The Evil Dead (1981) The Evil Dead

    A straight horror film made for almost nothing, with none of the comedy the series is now known for. Start here so the turn the second film takes actually registers.

  2. 2
    Evil Dead II (1987) Evil Dead II

    Half sequel and half remake: it restages the first film with most of the cast removed, then plays the same night for laughs. It contradicts the original on screen and does not care.

  3. 3
    Army of Darkness (1992) Army of Darkness

    Ash in 1300 with a chainsaw hand, which is where the tone finally arrives. It is barely a horror film and it is the one people quote.

Then what? Then Ash vs Evil Dead, three series of ten, which continues straight out of Army of Darkness thirty years later and is the real fourth film. After that the reboot line, 2013, Rise and Burn, in any order you like; they share the book and the world but no characters. Evil Dead Wrath is dated 7 April 2028.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
