When I saw this title I thought of evil dead II(i think).
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.

It was the wife of the archeologist, she spent half the movie in the basement tormenting the shit out of everyone.

He went back in time in the 3rd movie.

I have reason to believe henrietta was in the second movie because the second movie was originally titled dead by dawn, and at one point in the movie several monsters were screaming "Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!  Dead by dawn!"  And the zombie in the basement was pushing it up while chanting this.

I gotta toad story - better than the centipede story actually.

We have toads on our property.  When it rains, a dozen of them hop out of the way of the car as we drive down the driveway.  We never thought about them much.  One night, our dog all of a sudden had a hard time walking, had a little frothing at the lips, and had a vacant stare (yeah, even for a dog, it was evident that something fucked up was going on in his head).  I remembered seeing a dessicated, roadkill toad in the yard recently, looking like toad jerky.  Turns out that the toads are called Bufo marinus, and they are toxic.  Our dog had found the roadkill and brought it up to the house, getting poisoned and drugged while doing so.  He was tripping!  Bufos have all kinds of neurotoxins and cardiotoxins, and in some areas (namely Florida) they are very toxic to dogs.  We rinsed his mouth out with baking soda, and took him to the vet the next day.  It took about two weeks for him to get back to normal - he couldn't get up from lying down and we had to help him up every time.  He has avoided toads ever since, thank god.  I have to wonder what it was like for a dog to be hallucinating.

Subsequently someone told us about an island resident whose drug of choice was bufotoxin.  He would collect the toads and touch them, using increasingly greater doses to get high.  One day he was tripping, on a cliff, and tried to fly.  He ended up falling, impaling himself on a tree, from groin to chest.  He survived, but he's permanently in a wheelchair.

There are 3 movies, and he accumulates wounds through all 3, but 2 is halfway a sequel and halfway a remake of the last 1.  3 is also partially a remake, but mostly a sequel.

The director never says this directly, but i get the feeling they made evil dead 1 a pure horror, use the money from that to make evil dead II, but realized halfway through they didnt have the budget for a horror and made it a horror comedy, and after its success they made evil dead 3 which was almost all comedy.

people smoke dried toad skins, i believe (i've read it somewhere, and it's in "american gods", which i've just finished reading again - coincidence, eh?).  one of the components of bufotoxin is a hallucinogenic.

One of the reasons I'm here is to learn to be okay with inconsequentiality and my invisibility in the universe.
