Whilst Crimewave was in production, Raimi was developing Evil Dead 2: Army Of Darkness, or as it was actually called then, Evil Dead: 1300 AD. (It was also for a time called The Medieval Dead.) But Dino De Laurentiis persuaded them to keep part two in the cabin and wait until the third one to do the 1300 AD storyline. Raimi talks about this a bit in the 1987 Directors interview listed above.
