This combined with the copyright issues meant they basically had to completely dis-assemble my chainsaws and virtually start from scratch re-orientating the interior and changing the outer look to negate any copyright issues. A loaf of bread would probably be the limit. That's not to say I would want to have that spinning chainsaw pushed into my face, there is still some power there, it would cause some damage, but it was never going to cut though a plank of wood. You touch the chainsaw to your trousers and it would bite into the fabric and stall rather than cutting though anything (which is what I designed it to do). The motors I used were meant for cosplayers.

My chainsaws tend to be a one-size-fits-all, and aren't a custom fit for every customer, plus there is only so much internal space. Further to this, as Bruce Campbell's stuntman's hands were quite big, as are Bruce's for that matter, this meant they needed to re-orientate the inside of my saws to make it an exact custom fit for Bruce & the stuntman's hands. It was only once the order was completed that rights issues with Army Of Darkness became apparent, which left the production with a problem as they couldn't use my chainsaws exactly as they were without having copyright issues, as they're identical to the Army Of Darkness screen-used chainsaws. It's pointed out in the season one extra Inside The World - Ash Vs Evil Dead, that their prop was bought by the production, and is an identical replacement, and not the original featured in the previous films. It is unknown what happened to the tape recorder after this. Once shooting had wrapped on The Evil Dead, Sam took this back to their Fearndale offices, where it remained until 1986 when he brought it with him to Wadesboro for Evil Dead II.
The original belonged to Bruce's dad, and was used to put sound to a number of the Super-8 short films the group made together. It was a Panasonic Solid State RQ-706S reel to reel tape recorder. The same tape recorder was used in The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army Of Darkness, and Ash Vs Evil Dead. 115v bathroom shaver sockets don't output anywhere near this much current, and might well fry or trip-out trying. In order to use it you'd need a pretty heavy duty power transformer rated for 1000w/1kw or higher output (which will roughly be in the region of £70/$120 new). Bear in mind that having been produced in the USA, this projector is made to work on the American current of 115v, so if you live in a country which uses 240v, plugging it in will fry the electronics inside within a few seconds. These aren't made new any more, but they're widely available on eBay second hand. The three are all identical in size & shape, but DDW has an average life expectancy of 10 Hours, DDB of 25 Hours, and DDY is 200 Hours, so expect to pay accordingly. Should you need to get one, this projector takes type 'DDW', 'DDB', or 'DDY' 750W, 120V incandescent bulbs. Sam mentions in the 1999 Elite Entertainment DVD commentary track for The Evil Dead, that it was bought from an old clock store specifically for use on the production, and was modified by the store owner to allow the hands to rewind, stop, and fast-forward in real time at the flick of a switch.Ĭlose-up, Ash Vs Evil Dead (S2, E10 - Second Coming) It was first listed in the 1911 copy of the Ansonia catalogue, although this is shown with a different paper clock-face, so the one shown in The Evil Dead trilogy would not been the original.
It's an Ansonia Regulator clock named the 'Ledger No.1', an 8-day timepiece around 37" tall, 17½" wide and 5" deep, with an 13" diameter clock-face and 4½" pendulum. This is the wooden pendulum clock hung in the cabin, seen in The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army Of Darkness, the 2013 Evil Dead remake, and Ash Vs Evil Dead.
