Neither Evil Dead 2 (which I just watched last night on IFC) nor Army of Darkness can touch the original. The sequels are more camp and comedy than straight horror. I like them, but the original fuckin' freaked me out when I was a kid.
Coincidentally, I just tossed out a bunch of old Fangoria magazines while cleaning my (recently deceased) mom's basement today. I almost want to go dig them out of the dumpster now.
