Transcription by Nicholas Thomson (February 2001) RENAISSANCE PICTURES PRESENTS: THE EVIL DEAD [Daytime - Inside the Delta 88 (Ash's car)] <The group are traveling down a highway, Shelly is singing a song, the group generally feel content with themselves and are looking forward to the holiday> Scott: Hey Ash, where are we? Ash: Well, we just crossed the Tennessee Border. Ash: Which would put us... Scott: <laughing> Yeah? Ash: Which would put us... <Ash traces the road they are travelling on in the map with his finger> Ash: Right... Here. <Ash lands his finger on the map> <The Delta 88 suddenly steers out of control, the steering wheel jerks from Scott's control, the car swerves madly to the other side of the road as a truck roars towards them blaring its horn, Ash grabs the wheel and they struggle to regain control of the vehicle, luckily, they steer the car out of the path of the truck and they pull the car back over to the correct side of the road> <Shelly screams as they narrowly miss death> Ash: What the hell was that? Are you trying to kill us? Scott: Hey! Don't blame me! It's your steering wheel! Damn thing jerked right out of my hands. Ash: I don't understand it. I had this thing in for a tune-up yesterday and they said they'd go over everything. Scott: Yeah! Well you better take it back because the damn thing don't work. The one thing that does work is this lousy horn. <Scott honks the horn as they pass two fishermen on the side of the road> Scott: <to the fishermen on the roadside> Ah! Go to hell! I'm not honking at you! <Scott looks back out the driver's window at the pair of fishermen, turns back, then looks again in disbelief that the two guys are still waving at them> Scott: Jesus Christ. <Scott shakes his head> Linda: Hey Scotty, what's this place like anyway? Scott: Well, the guy that's renting it says it's an old place. Little run down, but it's right up in the mountains. Yeah, and the best part is that we get it so cheap. Linda: Yeah, why are we getting it so cheap? Scott: Well, I don't know. Might be in real bad shape for all we know. Cheryl: You mean, nobody's seen this place yet? Scott: Well, not yet. Ash: Well, it might not be that bad. Linda: No. Ash: Actually, it might be kind of nice. Linda: Yeah. Shelly: It's probably a real pit. <says Shelly as she sits slumped in the passenger seat> Ash: Yeah, I think this is where we get off. <The gang reads the sign. It reads: DANGEROUS BRIDGE TRAVEL AT OWN RISK 3 TONS LOAD LIMIT> <The Delta 88 crosses a rickety bridge as the group inside the car sit on edge as the wooden beams creak with the strain of the passing vehicle> Cheryl: This is the bridge we're going to cross? Scott: Jesus Christ! The whole thing's falling apart on us! <The bridge continues to creak with strain> Ash: Don't let the noise fool you girls, this thing is solid as a rock. <They continue to cross the bridge and turn into the long, shaded driveway leading up to the cabin, eventually they arrive at the log cabin> <The car pulls into the area infront of the cabin, the group pile out of the car and stand in disbelief at the sorry state of the cabin> <Scott is the first to approach the cabin while the wooden swing chair hanging from the porch bangs against the wall> <Scott approaches the door and stares at the swing chair and looks up to the top of the door frame, he reaches up and retrieves a bunch of keys> Scott: It's supposed to be one of these on here. <Scott unlocks the door to the cabin and enters> <The rest of the group unload the car> Ash: C'mon! <Ash signals for the baggage to be thrown to him, he catches the first, and second> Linda: Hey! Ash: Hey! Hey! Hmph! <The third bag hits him hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him> [Daytime - Inside the Cabin] <Scott enters the cabin and begins to investigate the subsequent rooms, first the living room, then a bedroom, then the outside shed lying in which are some chains and gardening gear while a fine mist flows around his feet> [Nighttime - Inside the cabin] <Cheryl draws the clock opposite her on the wall in her sketchbook and then hears distant voices saying, "Join us. Join us."> <Suddenly a wind whisps through the window, tension overpowers Cheryl who is forced to draw a sketch of a book with a face, soon the wind stops and she calms herself as she looks at the sketch confused> <The, the cellar door begins to bang up and down and soon stops leaving an echo disappear into thin air.> <Later that night they group are sitting down to have dinner, the gather around the table> Scott: <whispering to Cheryl> It barks in the cellar. It barks in the cellar. Cheryl: Will you stop it? Ash: I would very much like to make a toast for all this evening. Ah, as a great friend of mine once said, he said, "I..." Oh Ok Ok "This miss tu tareene". Cheryl: Which means? Scott: Party down! Ya! <Scott raises his glass in celebration> <The cellar door suddenly crashes open of its own accord, immediately attracting the the attention of the group who subsequently dash over to the scene> Ash: What is this? Linda: Whatever it is, it's still down there. Cheryl: I don't like cellars. Let's just close it up. It's probably just some animal. Scott: An animal? An animal? <laughs at the 'impossible' prosepect> That is the stupidest thing I ever heard. Jesus Christ. <Scott shakes his head with disbelief at Cheryl's suggestion> Shelly: There's something down there. Linda: Maybe it is just some animal. Scott: Yeah, you're probably right. Probably just some animal. Here Cheryl, why don't you go down and check, make sure? Cheryl: Scotty! I'm not going down there! <She pushes the torch away from her> Scott: Ok, Ok you cowards, I'll go. <He says in a galant style> Shelly: Be careful. Scott: Back in a minute. <Scott descends into the cellar and disappears into darkness> <Everyone watches while Ash peers down into the darkness of the cellar> Ash: Hey Scotty! You find anything? Scotty. Scotty! Scott! <Ash calls out, his voice echoeing after him> Shelly: He's just kidding around.....isn't he? Ash: Scotty!! Scott! Linda, get me a flashlight. Linda: That's the only one we brought up. Ash: Then get the lantern. <Ash takes hold of the lantern and then descends into the dark cellar> [In the cellar] <Ash looks for Scott. The cellar is very dark and dank, droplets of water drip from overhanging pipes, the cold, stone walls are damp and green with mould.> Ash: Scotty? (Thump) <Ash cautiously approaches the door opposite him and he opens it sharply, and then opens it slowly, it creaks with rusted hinges. Ash then proceeds further inside the new room and squints as he looks around> Scott: <Scaring Ash> Boo!! <Scott laughs with glee> Hey, come here, I wanna show you something. Look at all this stuff. I bet this still shoots. Ash: Probably does. <Ash and Scott rummage around the abandoned junk lying, sprawled across the old workbench. A gun and a knife with skull carving are the main objects of interest, aswell as an old taperecorder> Ash: Oh God. Look at this. <Ash picks out a gruesome book, he carefully looks at the grim detail, unsure of what he has found> Scott: Look at this. <Referring to the knife> This kind of looks like your old girlfriend. <chuckle> C'mon, let's take this stuff upstairs. I'll grab the recorder and you get everything else... [Inside the cabin] <The group are chatting to one another as Ash and Scott set up the taperecorder> Ash: Ok, shhhh.....listen to this. This is the tape I found downstairs. Proffessor: (On tape) It has been a number of years since I began excavating the ruins of Candar with a group of my colleges. Now my wife and I have retreated to a small cabin in the solitude of these mountains. Here I continued my research undisturbed by the myriad distractions of modern civilization and far from the groves of academe. I believe I have made a significant find in the Candarian Ruins. A volume of Ancient Sumarian burial practices and funerary incantations. It is entitled "Morturom Demonto"- roughly translated, "Book of the Dead". The book is bound in human flesh and inked in human blood. It deals with demons and demon resurrection and those forces which roam the forest and dark bowers of man's domain. The first few pages warn that these enduring creatures may lie dormant but are never truly dead. They may be recalled to active life through the incantations presented in this book. It is through recitation of these passages that the demons are given license to possess the living. <Cheryl turns the tape recorder off with inpatience> Scott: Hey! What did you do that for? It was just getting good! Cheryl: I just don't want to hear it anymore, that's all. Scott: Oooooooooooooo-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh! <Scott mutters> Ash: Scotty, c'mon. Leave her alone, man. Scott: Hey, c'mon. I just want to hear the rest of it. No big deal. <Scott leans over and turns the tape recorder back on> <The Proffessor on the tape recites some incantations, unknown to the group> <As the words echo out, an evil force awakens in the forest> <The words continue and become louder and more pronounced> Cheryl: Shut it off! Shut it off! Shut it off!!! <Screams Cheryl> <At the pinacle of the incantations window breaks and Cheryl is scared out of her mind and she sunbsequently runs off in a tantrum> Shelly: Cheryl. Where're you going? <Shelly runs after her and Linda follows> Ash: I can't believe this. Scott, you knew not to play that! I mean c'mon, you knew it was upsetting her. You just don't know when you're taking something too far. Scott: Hey, don't give me that! You were playing it too. You could of shut it off. I mean big deal! She's nuts. I mean it's just a joke, c'mon! She acts like she's three years old or something. [Inside the cabin] Ash: Listen. Why don't we stay up for a while and listen to the storm? Linda: All right, yeah. Let me check on Cheryl first to see if she's Ok. <Linda walks off down the corridor and peers in through Cheryl's door, while Ash checks a present he has bought for her, a piece of jewellry, a looking glass. Linda then comes back and finds Ash lying on the sofa 'sleeping.'> <Ash allows Linda to notice the jewellry box when she comes back> <Linda looks at it, she reaches, stops, then looks down while Ash glances at her. Ash opens his eyes on and off until Linda finally catches him.> Linda: Aha! Ash: Ohh! Stealing from the blind, huh? This is for you. <Ash smiles and looks down at his lap as he hands it over> Linda: <Linda opens the box and finds the necklace inside> Ash, how sweet of you. Would you put it on? Ash: Oh yeah, sure. I was going to give it to you before we came up here, but things got so hectic, this is really the first chance we've had to be alone. Take a look. Linda: Oh Ash! It's beautiful. I really love it. I'll never take it off. <The evil force observes them from outside and then moves to outside Cheryl's room> Evil Force: Join us! <Cheryl hears the moan while she looks at the drawing from earlier on> [Outside the cabin] <Cheryl goes to her door and wanders outside> Cheryl: Is anybody out there? <Cheryl wanders off into the dark forest> Cheryl: I know someone's out there. I heard you. I heard you in the cellar. <Suddenly, Cheryl is attacked by the evil force which has manifested itself through trees which force her deeper into the forest where she is attacked by vines and thin branches. Gradually they tie her down and pin her to the ground where they proceed to rape her. But as the vines do so she struggles free and runs off into the darkness, back to the cabin, chased all the time by the evil force.> <She reaches the door and struggles with the handle, she remembers the keys, she then reaches for them and then struggles to find the key while the force comes after her. She struggles and struggles and eventually the door burst open and Ash grabs hold of her, bringing her inside. Cheryl is in hysterics.> Cheryl: Ashley!!! [Inside the cabin] Ash: What the hell happened to you? What's the matter with you? Did something in the woods do this to you? Cheryl: No! It was the woods themselves! They're alive Ashley! The trees! They're alive. <Ash and the group can't believe what they're hearing> Linda: Ash. Why don't I take her in the back room so she can lie down. Cheryl: I'm not lying down! I want to get out of here. I want to leave this place right now. Right now Ashley! Scott: Wait a minute. I sure as hell am not leaving any place tonight. Shelly: Cheryl. Linda: Cheryl. Ash: Cheryl, there's nothing out there. Trees do not attack people. Cheryl: Ashley! Will you drive me into town or not? Ash: What? Right now?! Look, sure, sure, I'll take you into town, but just listen to what you're saying. Cheryl: I don't care how it sounds. I wanna get out of this place right now. Ash: Ok, maybe you could stay somewhere in town tonight. <Ash and Cheryl step out into the dark night and get into the car while the others watch them.> [In the Delta 88] <The Delta 88 refuses to start, Ash tries again a couple of times.> Cheryl: I know it's not gonna start. It's not gonna let us leave. <It finally starts, Ash glances at Cheryl, and they drive through the night until Ash sees something in the distance when they reach the bridge> Cheryl: Why are you stopping? Ash: Wait here a minute. <Ash exits the car and walks off into the night> Cheryl: Do you see something? Where're you going? Ashley? <Cheryl exits the car nervously and walks into the night after Ash> Ashley? <Then Cheryl finds it, the bridge has collapsed and a twisted mess remains, Cheryl runs in fright and is quickly caught by Ash who leaps out of the dark> Cheryl: <weeping> It's not going to let us go! It's not going to let us go! I told you! I told you! It's not going to let us go! Why won't you listen to me? <Cheryl falls to the floor in hysterics, clutching at Ash's knees in fear> [Inside the cabin] <Ash plays the tape recorder again, this time wearing an ear piece> Prof: (On tape) I know now that my wife has become host to a Candarian demon. I fear that the only way to stop those possessed by the spirits of the book is through the act of bodily dismemberment. I believe now to avoid this horror, but for myself, I have seen the dark shadows moving in the woods and I have no doubt that whatever I have resurrected through this book is sure to come calling... for me. <Linda and Shelly are playing a guessing game with a deck of cards in the corner> Linda: Ok, ah, let me think. Ummm... It's a seven. Shelly: Oh! What suit? Linda: Ahh... diamonds. N-no-no wait! Ummm, hearts! Shelly: Oh My God! It's seven of hearts! You're right! Linda: Hey Ash! I guessed the card right! Ash: Yeah... truly amazing Linda. <Ash dismisses the 'wonder' and goes back to the tape> Linda: I don't know. I don't know, but I think it's really some sort of extra sense or something, you know, like ESP. Shelly: Ok, try this one. Linda: Ok... It's a seven. Shelly: I don't believe it! Cheryl: ... of spades. Queen of Spades. Four of Hearts. Eight of Spades. Two of Spades. Jack of Diamonds. Jack of Clubs! <Cheryl turns round to reveal that she is possessed by the evil, her face and eyes white, she is then whisked up infront of the window, twisting and writhing under the spell of the evil force> PosChr: Why have you disturbed our sleep? Awakened us from our ancient slumber? You will die! Nightmare is before you. One by one we will take you. <Possessed Cheryl then collapses onto the floor in a heap> Scott: What happened to her? Linda: Did you see her eyes? Oh Ash, I'm scared. What's wrong with her? <Possessed Cheryl reaches for a pencil on the floor and stabs Linda in the ankle with it and throws her and Ash against walls. Ash crashes against a bookcase and it topples over on top of him> Scott: Cheryl! Stop it! <Scott is thrown against a door and collapses to the floor> <Scott wrestles with Cheryl and kicks her into the cellar, locking her in> PosChr: Join us! <They all sit around in the living room, shocked by the recent event> Scott: Ash. I think we ought to get out of here. Ash: Yeah. Scott: We still have a few more hours before morning. Shelly: I don't think I can wait that long. Scott: You have to. We all have to! And then in the morning, we'll get in the car, and we'll take the bridge. And- Shelly: Why does she keep making those horrible noises? <referring to Possessed Cheryl> Scott: I don't know! Shelly: Her eyes! Her eyes... For God's Sake! What happened to her eyes? <Possessed Cheryl growls and chuckles some more> <The Evil Force approaches the cabin and looks in through the windows at the inhabitants> Scott: Everything's going to be all right. Shelly: Scotty. I-I think there's something's out there. <Shelly looks through a window> Scott: Go to bed, and get some sleep. Ok? <The Evil Force follows Shelly to her room from outside and smashes through the window> <Ash and Scott jump at the sudden scream. Scott investigates Shelly's room and finds she is missing, he then proceeds to hunt her out through the house> Scott: Shelly? <Scott is attacked by a Possessed Shelly who scratches her finger nails into Scott's face> <Possessed Shelly is knocked into the fireplace but Scott drags her out after she begs him to> PosShy: Thank you. I don't know what I would have done if I remained on those hot coals, burning my pretty flesh. You have pretty skin. Give it to us. PosShy: Join us. Join us... <Scott wrestles with the possessed Shelly and slits her wrist, she then chews off her hand and drops it to the floor. Then Scott stabs her in the back with the scepter.> <Possessed Shelly attacks Scott again and they struggle> Scott: <to Ash> Hit her! Hit it! <Scott grabs the axe from Ash and chops Possessed Shelly into pieces on the floor which then lie on the floor jiggling> Ash: Scott. Scott: Yeah? Ash: What are- What are we going to do? Scott: We're going to bury her. Ash: We can't bury Shelly. She's a- she's a friend of ours. Scott: Yeah, she's dead. Shelly's dead. We gotta bury her now. [Outside the cabin] <Scott and Ash carry the corpse outside and bury it> [Inside the cabin] Ash: Linda's still sleeping. I think once her leg- Scott: I'm getting out of here. Ash: Scott, we can't take Linda anywhere with her leg like that. We don't even know if there is anyway back besides the bridge. Scott: Maybe there's a hiking trail, or an old road or some other way around the cliff. I mean there's gotta be another way besides the bridge. Ash: Listen to me. Linda cannot walk with her leg like that. She can't even stand up. Scott: Well, then we'll leave her here. Until we can send somebody back. Ash: What? Are you crazy? Scott: Look! I'm getting out! I don't care what happens to her. She's your girlfriend, you take care of her. I'm getting the hell out of here. Right now. <Scott leaves the cabin> PosChr: Soon all of you will be like me. And then we'll lock you up in the cellar. Hahahahaha <Ash observes Linda's foot which then becomes possessed, Ash runs> <Possessed Linda sits on the floor giggling in the doorway of the living room> <Scott then reappears at the cabin badly wounded, having clearly been attacked by the evil> Scott: Ash! Ash! Ash: Oh My God! Scott: Help me! Ash: Scotty. You're going to be Ok. You're going to be just fine. You'll see. Scott: Ash. It's not going to let us leave. Cheryl- Cheryl was right, we're all going to die here! Ash: No, we're not going to die. Scott: We're all going to die. All of us! Ash: No, we're not going to die! We're not going to die! We're gonna get out of here. Now listen to me Scotty. Is there a way around the bridge? Scotty! Listen to me please for God's Sake! Scott!! Scott: Ash. Ash. I don't wanna die. You're not going to leave me are you Ash? Are you? PosChr: <mocking> I don't wanna die. You're not going to leave me here are you? Are you Ash? Hahahahaha Ash: Scotty! Now c'mon listen to me for God's Sake! Is there a way around the bridge? Scott: There's a way. The trail. But the trees Ash. They know. Don't you see Ash? They're alive! <Possessed Linda is still giggling and possessed Cheryl laughs gruffly> Ash: <to the possessed girls> Shut up will you? Shut up! <Ash slaps Possessed Linda> Scott: Kill her! Kill her! PosChr: Kill her if you can, loverboy. Ash: Forgive me Linda. <Ash draws a gun on Possessed Linda but then she returns to normal> Linda: Oh Ash, help me please! Ash, help me please Ash. Oh Ash. Please don't let them take me away again. Please. Ash: No, I won't. I won't. I promise. <Ash hears Cheryl's normal voice> Cheryl: Ashley. Ashley, help me. Let me out of here. Ashley? Ash, help me. Let me out of here. I'mI'm all right now, I'm all right now Ashley, I'm all right. Unlock this chain and let me out. Ash: Cheryl? Cheryl? <Ash steps over to the cellar door and looks into the gap> <Possessed Cheryl grabs Ash by the neck but he gets away> PosChr: <mocking> I'm all right now Ashley! Come unlock the chain and let me out! Hahaha I'm all right now. It's your sister, Cheryl. Ash: Ah you bastards! Why are you torturing me like this? Why? <to Possessed Linda as she's giggling again> Shut up! PosLin: <singing, taunting> We're going to get you. We're going to get you. Not another peep. Time to go to sleep. We-ahhahahahaha <Ash drags Possessed Linda outside the cabin and leaves her in the night> [Outside the cabin] PosLin: Useless! Useless! In time it will come for him and then it will come for you! [Inside the cabin] Ash: Here. Here. <giving Scott a glass of water> Now, the sun will be up in an hour or so and we can all get out of here together. You, me, Linda, Shelly. Hmm.. Well... not Shelly, she- We'll all be going home together. Wouldn't you like to be going home? I bet you'd like that, wouldn't you? Scott? <Possessed Cheryl cackles insesently> <Suddenly, Possessed Linda attacks and stabs Ash with the scepter and licks the blood off> PosChr: Join us! Join us! <Ash battles with Possessed Linda and finally stabs her in the back, she falls, the knife digs in deeper, seemingly killing her> <Ash drags Linda's body outside to the toolshed and chains her up tight> [Inside the workshed] <Ash grabs the chainsaw from the wall and starts it up, he hovers it over her neck, but cannot bring himself to decapitate her, he drops the chainsaw and weeps over her body> Ash: Oh Linda... [Outside the cabin] <Throughout the buriel, Linda keeps opening her eyes when Ash is not looking, and beats with the energy of evil while the possessed Cheryl begins to break open the cellar door to try and escape> <Ash drags the corpse outside and digs a grave, he then pulls her body in and covers the grave over, placing a wooden cross at the head of the grave. However, Linda escapes from her shallow grave and attacks Ash by tearing at the flesh of his leg> <Ash collapses to the floor and as possessed Linda leaps into the air, Ash grabs a shovel and swings it up infront of his, decapitating Linda, the head falls away, blood soaks Ash as the body writhes over his, while Linda's head laughs and screams> <Ash finally rids the evil and escapes back to the cabin> [Inside the cabin] <Ash notices that Possessed Cheryl has escaped, leaving the cellar door in pieces. Ash goes for the shotgun and goes hunting for her around the house, eventually coming to Scott and Shelly's room where he checks out the closet, but is attacked through the broken window, possessed Cheryl grabs the gun, struggles with Ash and Ash shoots her in the cheek, blood gushes out, she falls to the floor and disappears into the night> <Ash then rushes to the front door to block Cheryl's entrance to the cabin, he struggles, but eventually closes it> Ash: <whispering> Back door. <In a panic he rushes to the back door and closes it> Shells. Where did I see that box of shells? The cellar. <Ash cautiously approaches the cellar door and proceeds down the stairs where he finds the shells> <But then the evil comes back and haunts Ash, tormenting him, blood then pours from the walls, overhead pipes which drench Ash, plug sockets. A projector turns on, blinding Ash, blood dribbles over it while the record player winds itself up and begins to play, it gets faster and eventually explodes as does the blood filled light bulb hanging near Ash> PosLin: <singing> We're going to get you. We're going to get you. Ash: Shut up, Linda! Shut up! PosLin: So sweet of you... Proff: ...is through bodily dismemberment. Scott: Hit her! Hit it! <Ash retrieves some shotgun shells, loads the gun and returns to the inside of the cabin, afraid, but willing to fight> Ash: <looking at the necklace he gave to Linda earlier> Linda... <Ash remembers her and is then attacked by Possessed Cheryl whose arms burst through the door against which Ash leans, they struggle, but Ash gets away> PosChr: Join us. Join us. <Ash shoots Possessed Cheryl as she escapes, but as he does so, Possessed Scott bursts up and attacks Ash, they struggle, Ash is lifted off his feet> <Ash then digs his thumbs into possessed Scott's eyes, gouging them out, Scott screams and collapses to the floor. Cheryl comes back, picking a poker from the fire she proceeds to repeatedly hit Ash on the back while he attempts to reach for the book> <Ash struggles, Scott chews on Ash's leg, but Ash finally gets hold of the book with the necklace and is dragged back, he looks up at Possessed Cheryl and quickly throws the book into the fire. It burns and screams, it's flesh face screaming and wailing> <Suddenly, Scott begins to smoke while Cheryl stops dead, the poker drops a couple of inches from Ash's face. Cheryl then begins to decompose as Scott smokes more and struggles with his pain. Cheryl's body then begins to fall apart as does Scott's whose flesh bursts and rots from their bones while roaches and gore bleeds heavily from their guts. Cheryl then explodes from inside by two huge claws as does Scott. Cheryl then falls as her face peels off, the corpse then collapses to the floor, the skull breaks open. Scott then bursts open, his skull collapses and then the evil fades away and melts onto the floor> EvlFrc: Join us. Join us. Join us...<The evil voices then fade into the ditance> <Daylight breaks and the new day appears> [Daytime - Outside the cabin] <Ash steps outside the cabin slowly, squinting as the sun startles him. He walks out onto the porch. But all is not well, behind the cabin the remnants of evil wakes and crashes through the cabin, then the front door breaks open and Ash turns and screams in ultimate fear> Ash: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! written and SAM RAIMI directed by produced by ROBERT TAPERT starring BRUCE CAMPBELL with ELLEN SANDWEISS...cheryl HAL DELRICH.......scott BETSY BAKER.......linda SARAH YORK........shelly photography and TIM PHILO lighting special make up TOM SULLIVAN effects photographic BART PIERCE special effects music composed JOE LODUCA and conducted by music engineered at AUDIOGRAPHICS by ED WOLFRUM film editor EDNA RUTH PAUL supervising JOE MASEFIELD sound editor second unit JOSH BECKER lighting and sound transportation DAVID GOODMAN captain construction STEVE FRANKEL supervisor assistant GARY HOLT producer production DON CAMPBELL assistant still MIKE DITZ photographer location sound JOHN MASON recording dialogue re- JERRY FREDERICK recording sound mixer MEL ZELNIKER assistant film JOEL COEN editor dialogue editor LOU KLEINMAN assistant sound DOLORES ELLIOTT editor fake shemps PHIL GILLIS TED RAIMI DOROTHY TAPERT IVAN RAIMI CHERYL GUTTRIDGE BILL VINCENT BARBARA CAREY MARY BETH TAPERT DAVID HORTON SCOTT SPIEGEL WENDALL THOMAS JOHN CAMERON DON LONG JOANNE DRUSE STU SMITH GWEN COCHANSKI KURT RAUF DEBIE JARCZEWSKI post production SOUND ONE CORP. optical negative DYNAMIC EFFECTS LTD. negative J.G.
