Once shooting on The Evil Dead was completed, Sam took possession of the book, along with the 'Kandarian Dagger', and remained with him until 1986 when he brought it with him to Wadesboro for reference use on Evil Dead II, after which Tom got the original book back, and still has it to this day. He illustrated the book in between shooting at the kitchen table of their suburban house/production office. He made the pages out of office store bought parchment, bound together with paper from a grocery bag. Already having the facial casts, he brushed about ten layers of liquid latex into some of the moulds, and used contact cement to glue these 'skins' onto a piece of corrugated cardboard. Tom started creating this item from scratch prior to leaving for Tennessee, finishing it while shooting.
