Being an Evil Dead obsessed fan for decades I have always wanted to track down and visit the infamous cabin. Now, living just a few hours from Morristown, TN and having access to directions to the somewhat "secret" location it was only inevitable. Tanya and I headed out probably somewhat skeptical that we would actually find anything. Morristown turned out to be quite a bit larger of a town than expected and as we arrived at the location it was surprising that we were basically in the middle of a regular ol' neighborhood. A few steps down the trail though it became pretty creep-ily obvious that this was indeed the right place. Down the trail and to the left was the clearing. This was the same stretch I had seen Bruce & company drive a hundred times! To the right are the unmistakable evil-twin trees that still stand. Behind that, 25 years of overgrowth right where the cabin stood made it a bit less recognizable but sho-nuff there was the infamous chimney and fireplace as well as crumbled pile of tin-roof - all that remains after the cabin burned down not long after the movie was filmed. After digging around for a bit I got the distinct feeling that it was time to get the hell out of there. I grabbed a couple of small keepsakes and skidadled on outta there... The walk back down the trail away from the cabin was quite creepy indeed! There were a few property for sale signs in the area which leads me to suspect that sadly someday soon this infamous spot will be just another victim of sprawl. We got a room at a hotel real close by and that night the skies opened up with one helluva lightening storm - bolts hitting that hill like a warzone. The stories were obviously true. Later that night after the storm we went out to witness an unbelievable full moon succumb to smoky black clouds and disappear into the blackness of the night just like in The Evil Dead. It was surreal.....

Update: 4/08 Since posting this page I've gotten many emails in regard to the cabin. Unfortunately they mostly all went to an old rarely-used email address that I check once in a blue moon. My current email address is listed below and I'll gladly answer whatever questions you may have.

Thanks,
