I've always loved this .. mainly because it's the only 'the making of' that you can ever get in any medium for the original The Evil Dead. Josh Becker wrote this diary during his time on the shoot and put it up on to his website (2001'ish) claiming he'd had it written in note book form for years and just decided to put it online one day. Unfortunately, I cant find it on his site anymore but I've still got it printed off. It's also a unique read in that it was just some young self absorbed guy's diary at the time, Josh staying active but getting increasingly paranoid about the cast and crew around him. No coincidence when he also writes about how much weed him and some others were smoking :eyeroll :wink. It would be fun if someone eventualy turned his diary into a low budget 30 minute indie film ... these and other stories (Sam discovered in that cherry picker with blood running from his mouth being one) from that shoot would be brilliant fun to watch with new actors .. hint hint. Who would you cast as a young Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell, The Ladies etc?..
This book (it's small but calling it a booklet would be an injustice) was originaly given with a DVD release from memory ... help on that one please Deadites ! .. thank you.
