After the recording of Knowby's translations were played out loud, the Kandarian Demon became more active. Once the group arrived at the Knowby's cabin, they discovered a tape recording of Raymond Knowby translating the Necronomicon. When Ash Williams and four of his friends were approaching the allegedly abandon cabin for a weekend trip, the Demon demonstrated the ability to have influence over Ash's Oldsmobile, spinning the steering wheel in an attempt to send the car into the path of an oncoming truck. After Raymond managed to 'kill' the Deadite Henrietta and bury her under the dirt floor of the cabin's fruit cellar, the Kandarian Demon soon claimed his soul.Ī week passed, and the Kandarian Demon still roamed the woods surrounding the Knowby's cabin. The Demon attacked his wife, Henrietta, and turned her into a Deadite. The Kandarian Demon once again laid dormant for several centuries, until it was accidentally summoned by Professor Raymond Knowby while he was translating several passages from the Necronomicon in his secluded cabin. It's possible that the Demon later assisted Evil Ash with the creation of his army of the undead. Williams was able to outrun the Demon, locking himself within a nearby windmill. Very little is known of its activities during this time period prior to the arrival of the time displaced Ash Williams, though it is known that it attacked the people of both Lord Arthur and Henry The Red.Īfter Ash Williams had departed from Castle Kandar on a quest to retrieve the Necronomicon, the Kandarian Demon chased him through the woods outside the castle walls. The next known sighting of the Kandarian Demon was in England, circa 1300 AD. At an unknown period of time (presumably prior to or shortly after the banishment of the Dark Ones from Earth), the Kandarian Demon was put into a sleep-like state, awaiting for someone to re-awaken it from it's slumber using a spell written in the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. The exact origins of the Kandarian Demon itself is unknown, though it is possible that it was a creation of The Dark Ones during their time as the rulers of Earth to seek out victims to become Deadites, or it was a pre-existing entity that had been 'tamed' by the Dark Ones to do their bidding. ~ Ash Williams (Alternate 'Army of Darkness' opening monologue)

A foul and shapeless thing that lives not in the spaces that we know, but between them.in the dark.in the night. I know now that there is such a thing as a 'Living Evil'.
