Do I need to see the movies to get the series?
Was wondering if I have to see the movies before the series to get it.
shareI think you should see all the movies first, as they are prequels to the TV series.

the movie trilogy is around 4 and a half hours long give or take.
the first season is a little bit longer than that
so if your too lazy to watch 3 films then you wont be able to handle the first season either

You don't have to, but why wouldn't you want to? If you're interested in this show, you would be interested in the movies as well. Just see the movies, they're awesome!
shareI don't know why somebody who's never seen the movies would even want to watch this.
What's the appeal otherwise?

It's a very original Horror-Comedy TV series featuring an unique lead character.

Most things are references to the series.
It wouldn't be great if you didn't see the movies!
You don't have to but I recomend you do including the unofficial first movie.
shareNot unofficial.
the MOST official
Well, the first "movie" was apparently only a short.
But the first actual movie have another canon than the second movie (More people that are simply removed in the second movie) plus the first actual movie has more horror unlike the following movies that have comedy as well.
The third movie is a different canon as well by the same argument
and the series is a different canon as well with the same argument :)
all different Lindas
But this series makes it clear Ash went to the cabin with Friends
making the first 5 minutes of Evil Dead 2 noncanon
True the canon can be a little fuzzy between movie beginnings.
It is mentioned in the wiki that they "revised" the first film by simply removing any mention of the other characters for some reason (probably for expedience)
But I read that all the movies are canon despite the missing characters and endings/beginnings.
It is also mentioned that the remake may be connected to the movies somehow but that's probably more rumour and guessing than fact.
The original short film the movies are based on however is called "The Evil in the woods" and was some college thing.
Also the first movie are the only horror while the others are more horrorcomedies.
I would. You can jump into it, but it won't make much sense.
I would first go with Evil Dead, then Evil Dead 2. ED2 is essentially the same as the original, but they added a more comedic element to it.
It gets sillier w/ Army of Darkness.
That is where it ends.
Don't watch the remake and base it off that. Ash is not even on that.
Don't watch the remake
Although there are a few nods to the remake in the last three episodes. Especially with certain shots. One off the top of my head is *SPOILERS* when the last girl who dies before she gets sucked into the room, the way she turns and looks at the open door, the shot is directly from the remake. share
There's numerous flashbacks and it literally explains what's going on during the opening credits.
Watching the movies first will give you a much better in-depth understanding, but you won't be confused or anything watching it if you don't.
