Cabin Scale Plans

These plans were drawn up by US fan David Bartrug back in 2010 while at the cabin location in Wadesboro, before the cabin collapsed, and workshed removed in Operation Uproot. Huge thanks to David for allowing their inclusion here.

Over the years, people have created scale plans to the cabin, and below are a number of those images which have been saved from the internet in the past.

Four of the images were drawn by French-Canadian former 'Deadites Online' moderator Patrick Soucy aka Morsoth, who used to run a website called Morsoth's Evil Dead Collection from about 1999 up to 2003, although he has since dropped out of the community. His website detailed his huge collection of Evil Dead related material and various pet projects including a replica Evil Dead II Dagger, a scale model of the Evil Dead II Cabin, and a French language project to assemble a complete guide to The Evil Dead, which included many pictures, technical information, Movies trivia & bloopers. The complete website has been archived here

Cabin Wall Painting Scans

Thoughout Evil Dead II, a number of framed paintings & prints can be seen on the cabin walls, and some have now been identified. This all started when a Canadian fan called Joel bought three reproduction prints from an elderly man at a flee market in Nova Scotia in June 2014. This man claimed these were duplicates of paintings used in Evil Dead II, and although they were laser printed copies, they did indeed match the screen versions. Depictions of those three can be seen below;

'Yellow Bellied Sapsucker'

'White Crowned Sparrow'
by John James Audubon

'Road To Coast'
by Marius Hubert Robert

Between us we found that both the bird paintings are visible on the wall behind Ash as he cries holding Linda's necklace around 17m 06s in Evil Dead II, and the scenic house painting can be seen best as Ed's head hits it around 41m 35s. You can see the originals in screenshots below.

Thanks to Danish fan Jesper Mørch, the original artists for these paintings were identified. Both the bird paintings; Plate 114 'Crowned Sparrow' & Plate 190 'Yellow Bellied Sapsucker' were by the artist John James Audubon at an original size of 6-3/4" by 10-1/2". Re-prints with drastically varying prices can be found of both if you search around the internet. The seaside scene is by artist Marius Hubert-Robert, and is probably called 'Road To Coast'. It was included in a calendar of vintage landscape scenery (circa 1910s-1940s) and as such it not really rare, not at the time of it's release anyway. It was also made available as a jigsaw puzzle.

After some further research, original lithographic vintage prints of all three paintings were located and purchased from two dealers in the USA. They were then scanned in high resolution and can be download as a PDF below.
