Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Rise is the latest movie in the horror series spawning back to 1981. With Alyssa Sutherland playing a mother that turns into a creepy zombie in a Los Angeles apartment building, the movie is visually stunning in matters of makeup, special effects, and photography. If you’ve seen previous films, you’ll need to know that Evil Dead Rise isn’t more of the same because Cronin decided to mix things up a bit in this Sam Raimi movie series.
Evil Dead Rise brings the total of the Evil Dead movies to five spanning three decades of a project that went back and fro including a TV series. The Evil Dead franchise has made a huge impact on horror movies and is popular among horror fans for its sickening sight gags, gruesome violence, and campy comedy. If you’re one that saw the latest movie and got up and left after the credits started rolling and were left wondering if there was a post-credit scene, then this article will clear the smoke out for you and let you know what you may have missed.
Why Are Post-Credit Scenes Popular?
The popularity of post-credit scenes and their use as a cinematic resource has grown steadily in recent years. This is likely due to their use as a way for studios and filmmakers to tease future projects or provide some resolution for loose plot threads. Furthermore, these scenes can act as an additional reward for fans who sit through the end credits of a movie, exciting them with what might come next!
What Do Post-Credit Scenes Accomplish?
Post-credit scenes are often used to hint at what will happen in the next movie or to wrap up loose ends. These scenes also give studios and filmmakers a way to thank fans for watching the whole movie. After-credits scenes can sometimes lead to twists or reveals that viewers didn’t see coming.
After the movie is over, post-credit scenes are often used to give the audience a funny moment. By putting something funny or lighthearted at the end of a movie, the studios and filmmakers can give people another reason to talk about the movie and maybe even leave the theater with a smile on their faces.
What Is Evil Dead Rise About?
Evil Dead Rise, a horror movie, focuses on Beth and her sister Ellie, who reside in an apartment in Los Angeles with Ellie’s three children, Danny, Bridget, and Kassie. The story follows Ellie, who is possessed by demonic forces, leading her to turn on her family. The movie is a chilling and claustrophobic addition to the Evil Dead franchise, and fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating further sequels that take their favorite characters on new, terrifying adventures.
Before we get to the breakdown of the post-credits scene, there’s a few things we need to cover, brace yourself because spoilers are incoming! This movie has a climactic ending leaving a lot of things unexplained. Firstly, right at the end, a demon, zombie, monster, something we can’t see ends up attacking Jessica at the parking lot where Beth used the woodchipper to turn the demon living inside Ellie into ground beef. While that doesn’t answer anything and we could see it as “well, the bad guys win”, it could also leave open the possibility for a sequel to be teased at a post-credit scene for a future project.

Evil Dead Rise Post-Credits Scene Explained
Let’s clear the smoke a bit, because you might’ve been fooled. There’s no post-credit scene, nor there ever was planned to be one in the first place. Evil Dead from 2013 does have one, but that’s it. This series doesn’t have the knack other film series have with those sorts of cinematic resources, like for example, Marvel Studios does with its movies dating back to Iron Man.
The only reason why Evil Dead from 2013 had a post-credit scene is that the creators back then wanted to tease the audience even more with the comeback of the movie. And while the current film does leave out some things for more movies, it’s up to the studios and producers to come up with something that’s profitable. And that’s an issue very few horror series can get away with, after all, it’s been almost three decades after Scream, and look how much they’re milking that cow dry.
