The Necromonicon (Evil Dead 2013)

I've seen a lot of discussion about the Necromonicon from the earlier films but nothing specifically about the remake's. I think this is a very interesting prop and thought others may want to discuss building it as well.

I've seen a few on here since its release, probably hidden away.
I think the general consensus was it appears to be simple to progress the cover, as it doesnt have the mouth form or design of the first 3 evil dead films.

If memory serves, it is a stitched skin (leather) cover with rough stitching of thick cord.

I'd hate to have a pop at the artwork within though :/

there is some great reference out there but i've only seen a few of the pages for it.










Called the Necronomicon in original 1981 The Evil Dead, the literally devilish book that causes everyone in the film such heartache had a slightly different look in the new version. Rather than sporting a goulish demonic face, explains Pucci, "it was just this disgusting, sewn-together skin that had hair on it." He laughs. "It was so nasty. It's hard to see [the hair] because it's only in a couple shots, but man that thing was nasty." He pauses. "I really want to grab a page out of it take it home. Frame it. But I didn't."
