Every Deadite. Every film. Every season. Ranked.

Todd and Aaron went through the entire Evil Dead franchise and ranked every Deadite — from Cheryl crawling up from the cellar in The Evil Dead (1981) to Ellie tearing through an apartment building in Evil Dead Rise (2023). Forty-plus years of possessed horror icons, and we figured out which ones actually hold up and which ones are overrated.

We covered every entry in the franchise:🩸 The Evil Dead (1981)🩸 Evil Dead II (1987)🩸 Army of Darkness (1992)🩸 Evil Dead (2013)🩸 Evil Dead Rise (2023)🩸 Ash vs Evil Dead — Seasons 1–3

Some of these Deadites are terrifying. Some of them are hilarious. Some of them are both. Drop your tier list in the comments and tell us which one we got wrong.
