 The Necronomicon found in the Voorhees house is a prop from  _Evil Dead II (1987)_ (qv) and created by Tom Sullivan (III) (qv).  Sam Raimi (qv) sent Sullivan a letter asking Sullivan to forgive  him for not asking permission to loan his "Evil Dead II" props for  this film. He said he was not paid and would never loan out the  props again without permission from Sullivan.
