The plot of Evil Dead Rise wouldn’t have happened either if they followed this simple rule
Just like Evil Dead, it’s those damn Devil made phonographs causing all this ruckus!
I haven’t seen the originals, graphics are too low res
/s
I haven’t gotten around to watching them yet
Well did you see how it sucked on his hand though
Naw, man, that’s just the cookbook that tells you how long to leave the one big crumb in the bottom of your air fryer.
What harm ever came from reading a book?
Evie became a rich adventurer badass married to Brendan Frasier, so it worked out alright for her.
Brendan Fraser. Wow, what a roller coaster. I’m glad he’s doing well again. I like him.
In this case?
I remember laughing so hard at that, when I saw in the theater, that everyone around me was like, “SSHHH!”
I couldn’t help it. That was one of the funniest things in the whole movie.
My thought has always been, “who the hell grabs a book like that?”
It looked like he was trying to just flip the front cover open, to see if he could determine which book was the real one before taking it.
Same because the only answer is “someone who hopes it’s sentient”.
Which movie is that?
Army of Darkness, aka Evil Dead 3 (although you don’t really need to see the first two and it’s much less horror and much more comedy than the first two as well).
Fun fact in the original Lovecraft mythos the Necronomicons were normal ass books that just happened to hold eldritch and arcane knowledge. Im sure anyone who has had the misfortune of opening up a copy of Wealth of nations or Capital knows the feeling.
Well, normal is a stretch. It was still forbidden to read and written by a madman in his own blood, driving anyone reading it at least partially insane.
Lovecraft was basing it on The King in Yellow by Robert Chambers. The character itself also appears in the Lovecraft pantheon as Hastur.
Pretty sure that counts as a normal college paper, but yeah it did have some secondary properties to it. But it wasnt bound in flesh or anything, plus by Lovecraft standards thats still pretty tame.
I think it being a normal book on the outside is actually scarier. The knowledge in the book was dangerous, not the object itself.
I would never open the Book of the Dead from Evil Dead but I might open the Necronomicon if I find it at an antique bookstore or something.
Which is also why it works, much like most threats it looks utterly mundane on the outside but once ya look closser you see its true threat. A good example is an old crate of dynamite which may look fine externally but its likely the nitroglycerin has seeped out and if you move that crate you are being annihilated.
Wait I’ve got an idea. Let’s make Chat GPT read it.
… NECKTIE!..
Nickel?
There! I said your damned words alright!
It’s sad how many people here don’t know what the meme is from.

I may not have said every single syllable!
I often judge a book by it’s cover, because the back cover usually tells me what the book is about.
Depends, if this is a personal curse or like a curse on humanity as a whole.
Because of its humanity as a whole I might just open it anyways ya know just to keep things interesting. Gotta be better than what the rich fucks are doing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“What’s that the face of?”
“The previous reader.”
You can’t tell me wh… YAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! …MUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
And under absolutely no circumstances should you put these on.
Unless you’re into that sort of thing…
The embedded tooth really does it for me
That’s honestly a helluva chastity device. Ain’t no one tryna fuck with them on
You underestimate the kinks of people
Nobody: Hermaeus Mora trying to reach you:
I have a necronomicon, but it has very basic binding, and I haven’t read it.
It was a housewarming gift that made me go “the fuck mate, you want me to die and leave the house to you or what?” Which was apparently the exact right response.
