We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Ash Williams — Ash's original hand was severed by a Deadite in Evil Dead II, not the first film.
Ash Williams — Ash does not appear across four distinct decades without aging significantly due to supernatural circumstances; he ages normally in the original timeline, and the time-displaced ending of Army of Darkness places him in a medieval setting, not supernatural agel
The Deadite Horde — The first appearance of the Deadite Horde is listed as 'Evil Dead II (1987)', but Deadites first appear in the original 'The Evil Dead' (1981).
The Deadite Horde — The weakness 'Holy Items' is listed, but in the original Evil Dead films, holy items are not shown to be effective against Deadites; primary weaknesses are fire, dismemberment, and Necronomicon incantations.
Chainsaw Hand — The entry states the Chainsaw Hand was created in Evil Dead II after Ash's hand was severed by a possessed Linda, but in canon, Ash's hand is bitten off by a Deadite (not Linda) in Evil Dead II, and later he saws it off himself after it becomes possessed.
Chainsaw Hand — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section claims the hand was created after Ash's hand was severed by a possessed Linda, which is incorrect; Linda does not sever his hand.
Ash Williams — Ash loses his hand to a possessed Linda in Evil Dead II (1987) — incorrect; Ash loses his hand to a possessed Linda in the first Evil Dead (1981), not Evil Dead II. In Evil Dead II, his hand is possessed and he cuts it off himself.
Kandarian Demon — The entity is not referred to as 'the Dark Ones' in later television adaptations; 'the Dark Ones' are a separate race of ancient beings in the Army of Darkness comics and related media, not a collective name for the Kandarian Demon itself.
Kandarian Demon — The claim that the demon's weakness is 'Fire and Pain' is imprecise; in the films, fire can destroy Deadites but does not necessarily weaken the demon itself, and 'pain' is not established as a consistent weakness across the canon.
Evil Dead Rise — Beth discovers the Book of the Dead hidden within a mysterious box during a chaotic apocalypse: The Book of the Dead is discovered by Danny, not Beth, and it is found in a sealed vault beneath the apartment building, not during an apocalypse.
Evil Dead Rise — The film was shot entirely on location in Los Angeles, utilizing real apartment structures for the climax: The film was shot primarily in New Zealand (at a studio in Auckland), not on location in Los Angeles; the apartment building was a set built on a soundst
Necronomicon Ex-Mortis — The claim that Ash attempts to destroy the book in Evil Dead II is inaccurate; he buries it and uses it to read a passage, not destroy it.
Necronomicon Ex-Mortis — The statement that the Necronomicon is a single, unique book not existing across multiple timelines is contradicted by Army of Darkness, where Ash encounters a different copy in the past.
Ash's Prosthetic Arm — The entry states the prosthetic arm was a fully functional chainsaw attached to a metal stump from its first appearance in Evil Dead II, but in the film Ash initially attaches a crude metal stump with a knife taped to it, and only later replaces it with a chai
Ash's Prosthetic Arm — The entry claims the prosthetic was always a fully integrated chainsaw and metal stump, not a crude assembly, but the film shows the first prosthetic is indeed a crude assembly (metal stump with a knife taped on), with the chainsaw added later.
