When fiction enters the money supply, it introduces an element of unreality or speculation that can undermine the stability and trust that money is supposed to represent. Money, at its core, is a tool humanity uses to simulate value, facilitate trade, and create a common understanding of worth in the real world. It relies on trust and a shared belief in its value, which is ideally grounded in something tangible or reliable. When speculative or fictitious elements-such as inflated asset values, derivatives with no real underlying value, or even currency manipulation- enter the money supply, they can distort this simulation of reality. These fictional aspects can inflate or deflate the perceived value of money, leading to economic bubbles, crashes, or hyperinflation. This, in turn, can discount reality by making it harder to assess the true value of goods, services, and labor. In this sense, the intrusion of fiction into the money supply can lead to a disconnect between the currency's value and the real-world economy it is meant to represent. It can create an economic environment where decisions are based on illusions or distorted perceptions rather than on the true state of affairs. This undermines the stability of the financial system and can erode trust in money as a reliable measure of value, ultimately discounting reality itself.

@@forkshifter It isn't only that. The cover is stretched cast latex according to what the guy said. Cast latex at just shy of 40 years old(37 years) is going to be extremely brittle. This guys butt puckering hard enough to create vacuum at having Adam waving his hands energetically around it makes sense, lol.
It is an artifact 🤦♂️ It's a one of a kind movie prop from a Cult classic. Good money would be paid for this. That is pretty much the definition of an artifact. "Ancient"? No. Important Artifact to many fans and collectors? Yup.
All those props are up for auction too. We can't afford any of them but it you click on the link to the auction in the video description, they have high resolution photos of everything up for sale including that bat wing model so you can really appreciate the detail. I spent a couple of hours on their site last week just going through hundreds of items of great movie nostalgia.
Same. Got mine signed on his Chins tour, but almost didn't. While waiting in line it was announced that he would no longer be signing any memorabilia, books only. Since I had wanted my SE DVD signed I had left the book at home. Disappointed, but not wanting to leave without a sig, I quickly ran to their kiosk and bought another copy. Once I got up to his table we got into a friendly argument about the situation. I wasn't complaining, just explaining, and he jokingly said " but it's a great book! Why wouldn't you want 2?" Then preceded to push the book aside and signed the DVD. 110% Class act. Great guy!
It's too bad that as Adam is calling out something specific on the back cover the editing was just showing the interior pages... I would love to have seen what Adam was so excited about on the back cover.
From visible parts: we can see parts are cut out, he gets a view on how pages are secured, and the binding area of outer "skin" part with body of book binding is visible, he probably got a better sense of how the materials mesh than a video can convey :D
I have the replica DVD version of the Necronomicon edition of "Evil Dead 2" and the illustrations are complete and movie accurate. One of my favorite pieces of fandom.
As soon as he asked Adam if "accuratize" was a real word, all I could think was "I reject your reality and substitute my own." Great episode! Much love to Adam and the crew.

Thanks a lot! You just made me order a copy of the Original Evil Dead Necronomicon Prop! One of the greatest movies ever! Right up there with A Clock Work Orange and Big Trouble in Little China!
I second that for Big Trouble in Little China. One of my all time favorites! Talking about these cult classics made me remember They Live as well. The 80's had all the coolest movies (at least for me)!
I have a Necronomicon that looks very close to this, and the pages are from the original Evil Dead and the remake and the detail is amazing!!! I’m glad to see this one knowing I have such a great version somebody made on eBay. I’ll have to make a video of it soon. Thanks for sharing this video. One of my all time favorite movies!!
My friends and I saw the video and then went and saw the movie. I believe it was the first show to come out on video and at the movies at the same time. Good job Adam you Rock. :)
I have the blu ray collectors edition of the Evil Dead movies, the original 3 and the remake (but not the most recent one), and it came with a poor replica of the Necronomicon. The book actually houses the discs, and the thin layer of latex was already tearing up before it got home. It's wrapped over a sheet of white foam, which is probably glued to the (probably cardboard) book. Even though it's a cheap replica (for a blu ray set), I'd love to repair the latex cover. Oh and yes, a lot of the pages do have drawings and runes. Some ig not all of them are actually readable. It's been ages since I looked thorough it.
Love how binding the Necronomicon in a human face was presumably the most horrific evil cover the writers or prop master could envision. But it was historically more common than you'd think to bind books in human skin, which is way more disturbing to me. Some bookbinder just shrugged and a tanner was just fine dealing with human skin.
I made my own necronomicon and I gotta say it was fun as hell making it. Just sucks that when you open it you get a 5 step guide to making a chicken diner
Watching flakes fall off the pages as you move them even with such care shows how fragile these old pieces are. They really aren't designed to last, so preservation is a slowly losing battle.
@@Alskie666 the face details I'm making with a clay thing and then I'll be wrapping it in a thin leather thats already a color close to the brown-ish one of the original. I already made a smaller version with a different face style to test it and looks pretty cool after painting shadow details like the eyes and between wrinkles. it's to be used for writting so the pages are blank but aged on the edges, tho I kinda want to add some of the designs somewhere, maybe on the endsheets
It's always quite stressful to watch Adam gesticulate near a delicate prop (remember when he got close to that X-Wing???). Adam is the most clumsy dude on the youtoobz, all the things he knocks over and drops on his cave videos... oh my...
There isn't enough Xanax in the world to calm the anxiety I feel when Adam is around some of these things. He definitely shouldn't be allowed to touch them.
The H. R. Giger necronomicon is an astounding collection of art. Most Lament Configurations and PuzzleBox replicas aren’t very satisfying to hold. Cheap plastics and no functionality, though it looks cool on the shelf. There are some very nice ones, heavy, that do open or change shapes.
The pages have def been known for a while. The closest to accurate prop replica we have is the one by Trick or Treat Studios. Its an almsot perfect replica
Check out the lineage Evil Dead Necronomicon made from a sculpt of the actual book made by Gothman’s Epic Stuff on RUclips. It blows the Trick or Treat Studios replica out of the water and is arguably the most accurate Evil Dead 2 Necronomicon anyone can get.
The TOTS book looks nothing like this. None of the stuff they make is a good replica of anything. Cheaply made shit that they charge a ton of money for.
2:37 (over B-roll): "Take note! Take note! This is really important reference here! ... That's such an important gesture to get this horrifying object to look right." Sure would have liked to have been able to know what Adam was referring to there...
I bought the Necronomicon as a coloring book. Seeing these pages are exactly what are in my book. I specifically got it to make my own Darkholde prop. I weathered the crap out of the pages that I used and seeing this book, I must have done an ok job because they look very similar.
The kiss of the Necronomicon will always haunt me as a child, my grandmother was so old the book always reminded me of her when the family visited. A peck on rhe cheek was the terror and watching the movie made it even more special.
Two other big ones were the Book of the Damned by Charles Fort (the pilot had its own Book of the Damned) as well as the journals from the video game Myst. But yeah, the Evil Dead II's Necronomicon was undoubtedly an inspiration as well.
The funny thing is that book made a special appearance in Jason goes to Hell it was sitting on the mantel in the Voorhees house. When Steven picks it up and looks at it right before the news anchor guy comes in.
also....fun fact...the same exact phrase used in the OG war of the worlds which was the shut down command to power down GORT....(BLACK AND WHITE VERSION )
Not going to lie, if this was me, I'd make a replica that I could put on the stand specifically so I could "accidentally" knock it over and damage it. Then I'd get the other guy to bring out the real one.
Evil dead I&II and Army of Darkness are my ultimate favorite horror movies I was a little kid when evil dead came out and I remember when my brother would rent it (back in the good ol days of VHS!) and it would scare the crap outta my little 8yro self but I loved it! Hail to the King baby! Haha
True story that when finishing the production of the first movie they had a box and they put movie props inside it and buried it at the cabin site, And the legend says that the box is still not found by the fans.
yes but they buried it just outside the cabin in the dirt as they said...all that's left is just the brick fireplace and holes where people had been digging trying to look for the box...also you can even see where the basement was where a big hole is although about 95% of the basement is completely buried with dirt within the surface that we can no more enter.
if you look carefully at the text written on the page (the second line to be exact) with the evil ash head at 2:42, it clearly says "bruce". and I have the book of the dead editions for both ED 1 and 2, and the text on the pages can be read once you see the symbols as letters.
There should be an archival site that lists movie props, detailed photos, their stories and owner records listed by a two factor ID that combines the prop ID and owner ID for privacy.
Sam didn't really get involved with what Tom was doing, Tom just kinda did his own thing and Sam thought it was great. Watch the documentary about Tom Sullivan called "Invaluable" it showcases really just how invaluable he was to Evil Dead.
I had the opportunity to gaze upon the necronomicon for the musical production - and met the artist. Little convention for B-movie cinema/film in Ohio, by the name Cinema Wasteland, had the artist as a special guest for quite a couple years and i had the joy to visit. There were quite a few notable guests that year I went, but the artist behind that art for the necronomicon had his own little room where so much of his art was on display that you'd think it were a museum for the event. Such a great fella to talk with and hear stories from this awesome artist. Like a litttle tale of the musical, how he particularly enjoyed how one audience member in the front row was dressed in a white suit - waiting to get sprayed in the theatrical blood. In particular, I liked his drawing he would sign for EVERYONE; he went on to tell me how he came upon the design for his little drawing while trying to impress some new friends in Japan, and that if he ever won the lottery - He'd likely host a big weekend long party where the only people invited would have to turned in the signature with the drawing. Tom Sullivan is seriously one cool dude.
Really hoping you and propstore had enough time to shoot Adam's thoughts on the principal photography model of the Nostromo you guys have in this catalogue! Also praying you got to look over some of the Doug Trumbull/2001 stuff, so much unbelievable stuff in this auction.
The exact pages from the Evil Dead 2 book are known, going through the opening stop motion sequence of the movie where the book is being written frame by frame you can see 90-95% of each page as it goes. Certain page details not visible in this scene have been cross referenced in rare interviews and behind the scenes materials.
This is one of my most favorite movie props ever. I actually made several replicas in my own style, trying to get it right each time, exploring different styles.
I met Tom Sullivan a bunch of times at various cons when I was younger. Absolute class act; he remembered me and the girl I was seeing at the time each year we went and asked after her efforts as an artist in a way that felt supportive. Seeing him was always one of the highlights of the con. I also ran into Tom Savini and Ted Raimi while they were in town for a related matter and both of those guys were an absolute trip. Bruce Campbell is, of course, Exactly As Cool He Seems and Erik Estrada was Weird. That's basically all my stories.
Is it weird when I read this video title, the first thing that came to my mind was the song by LL cool J - Phenomenon, but i was singing "Something like Necronomicon"
Tom Sullivan made it for the movie. Got to know him while working on a documentary about him. He was amazing and spent time with everyone who wanted to speak with him, such a legendary artist
still have my collectors edition from yeaaaars ago, the material used for the cover was a sort of foam/latex that unfortunately did not age well. still one of my favorite collectors edition dvds
It is the Evil Dead 2 prop. Annie brings the extra lost pages to the cabin in that one. Have to imagine the ultimate Evil Dead 2 collection would include this and the lost pages😂
Sure, the Necronomicon is great and all, 🙋♂️but was anyone else geeking out about the Batwing in the back with that beautiful skyline and the Penguin’s umbrella too? That Batwing is an amazing prop size. I remember having a small plastic toy of it, so this brought back all the feels for me lol😄😄🖤🙌😁☺️

The pages have def been known for a while. The closest to accurate prop replica we have is the one by Trick or Treat Studios. Its an almsot perfect replica
Check out the lineage Evil Dead Necronomicon made from a sculpt of the actual book made by Gothman’s Epic Stuff on RUclips. It blows the Trick or Treat Studios replica out of the water and is arguably the most accurate Evil Dead 2 Necronomicon anyone can get.
The TOTS book looks nothing like this. None of the stuff they make is a good replica of anything. Cheaply made shit that they charge a ton of money for.
2:37 (over B-roll): "Take note! Take note! This is really important reference here! ... That's such an important gesture to get this horrifying object to look right."
Sure would have liked to have been able to know what Adam was referring to there...
I bought the Necronomicon as a coloring book. Seeing these pages are exactly what are in my book. I specifically got it to make my own Darkholde prop. I weathered the crap out of the pages that I used and seeing this book, I must have done an ok job because they look very similar.
Man, so cool. Got the replica myself, which is very detailed as Adam says, but to see the real prop is like winning the horror lottery. 😎
Before watching, I'm guessing it's a cookbook filled with favorite recipes from the cast and crew.
I thought it might be a Bible inside to offset the evil nature of the cover...
You jeans favorite recipes OF the cast and crew muaahahaha
If it were a bible... dead on the outside words of life on the inside... only Nero or Diacletian would do such a twisted thing.
The kiss of the Necronomicon will always haunt me as a child, my grandmother was so old the book always reminded me of her when the family visited. A peck on rhe cheek was the terror and watching the movie made it even more special.
Seeing the inside of the book makes me realise that the books from gravity falls 100% took inspiration from this
Gravity falls has hundreds of deep horror and real world scary stories references, this is just one of many!
Or they all took inspiration from Lovecraft.
Two other big ones were the Book of the Damned by Charles Fort (the pilot had its own Book of the Damned) as well as the journals from the video game Myst. But yeah, the Evil Dead II's Necronomicon was undoubtedly an inspiration as well.
I believe accurize is the word Adam was looking for (had to look it up myself to be sure).
I'd like to see the Necronomicon from the first "The Evil Dead" movie.
This is way cool. Thanks RUclips for recommending this.
Adam uses the white gloves... but he touches his face SOOOO MUCH... Heart out to the conservator.
The funny thing is that book made a special appearance in Jason goes to Hell it was sitting on the mantel in the Voorhees house. When Steven picks it up and looks at it right before the news anchor guy comes in.
Hey you forgot to say "Klaatu, Barada, Nikto" before opening the book. What have you done.
well he basically said it. so whats the big deal
It’s okay, this one is bound in simulated human flesh.
no....
it's
KLATU...VIRATAE ... NICTO...💯
also....fun fact...the same exact phrase used in the OG war of the worlds which was the shut down command to power down GORT....(BLACK AND WHITE VERSION )

The Day the Earth Stood Still
I own the DVD with a replica of this and it have a battery and speaker with a button.
Not going to lie, if this was me, I'd make a replica that I could put on the stand specifically so I could "accidentally" knock it over and damage it. Then I'd get the other guy to bring out the real one.
Evil dead I&II and Army of Darkness are my ultimate favorite horror movies I was a little kid when evil dead came out and I remember when my brother would rent it (back in the good ol days of VHS!) and it would scare the crap outta my little 8yro self but I loved it! Hail to the King baby! Haha
True story that when finishing the production of the first movie they had a box and they put movie props inside it and buried it at the cabin site, And the legend says that the box is still not found by the fans.
that cabin burned down.
yes but they buried it just outside the cabin in the dirt as they said...all that's left is just the brick fireplace and holes where people had been digging trying to look for the box...also you can even see where the basement was where a big hole is although about 95% of the basement is completely buried with dirt within the surface that we can no more enter.
@@tonydann-nb7ce where was the cabin located?
if you look carefully at the text written on the page (the second line to be exact) with the evil ash head at 2:42, it clearly says "bruce". and I have the book of the dead editions for both ED 1 and 2, and the text on the pages can be read once you see the symbols as letters.
There should be an archival site that lists movie props, detailed photos, their stories and owner records listed by a two factor ID that combines the prop ID and owner ID for privacy.
Not sure about "accuritize" but "accurize" is the word for making guns or bullets more accurate.
Since the definition of what he wanted is different than accurize, I guess he just coined a new word.
My most favored prop from the series!!!
I read this as most flavored and was very worried for a second
Sam didn't really get involved with what Tom was doing, Tom just kinda did his own thing and Sam thought it was great. Watch the documentary about Tom Sullivan called "Invaluable" it showcases really just how invaluable he was to Evil Dead.
"Accuratize" is not a word but apparently "accurize" is and it means "to improve the accuracy of a firearm"
I had the opportunity to gaze upon the necronomicon for the musical production - and met the artist.
Little convention for B-movie cinema/film in Ohio, by the name Cinema Wasteland, had the artist as a special guest for quite a couple years and i had the joy to visit.
There were quite a few notable guests that year I went, but the artist behind that art for the necronomicon had his own little room where so much of his art was on display that you'd think it were a museum for the event.
Such a great fella to talk with and hear stories from this awesome artist. Like a litttle tale of the musical, how he particularly enjoyed how one audience member in the front row was dressed in a white suit - waiting to get sprayed in the theatrical blood.
In particular, I liked his drawing he would sign for EVERYONE; he went on to tell me how he came upon the design for his little drawing while trying to impress some new friends in Japan, and that if he ever won the lottery - He'd likely host a big weekend long party where the only people invited would have to turned in the signature with the drawing. Tom Sullivan is seriously one cool dude.

Groovy
Really hoping you and propstore had enough time to shoot Adam's thoughts on the principal photography model of the Nostromo you guys have in this catalogue!
Also praying you got to look over some of the Doug Trumbull/2001 stuff, so much unbelievable stuff in this auction.
Probably one of the most underrated horror spoofs made ! 😊
Very brave to open the book, it could damage the prop or unleash a horde of Deadites.
I think the list of props that Adam has NOT MADE, is likely much shorter than the list of those he has made!
The exact pages from the Evil Dead 2 book are known, going through the opening stop motion sequence of the movie where the book is being written frame by frame you can see 90-95% of each page as it goes. Certain page details not visible in this scene have been cross referenced in rare interviews and behind the scenes materials.
This is one of my most favorite movie props ever. I actually made several replicas in my own style, trying to get it right each time, exploring different styles.
It is such a privilege to see, hold, and read the prop from the movie 😃👍
Fun Halloween table decor is this,and it lights up and such. Its cool.
I love how they handle this like its so precious like The Dead Sea Scrolls or something similar.
I met Tom Sullivan a bunch of times at various cons when I was younger. Absolute class act; he remembered me and the girl I was seeing at the time each year we went and asked after her efforts as an artist in a way that felt supportive. Seeing him was always one of the highlights of the con. I also ran into Tom Savini and Ted Raimi while they were in town for a related matter and both of those guys were an absolute trip. Bruce Campbell is, of course, Exactly As Cool He Seems and Erik Estrada was Weird. That's basically all my stories.
It’s not a party till the dear mount starts laughing at you😊
True that, but it does become a small worry when the lamp light beside you bobs up and down laughing
DEER mount. Yeah I'm that guy lol
What a dream job it must be to auction props!
“Accuratize” to make a replica more accurate to the origonal.
Nice try 😂
Nice try spelling, "original".
Accurize! Original! 😂😂
@@ghostman5620it was a joke. He intentionally mispelld original.
I'd love for someone to Lidar-scan props like these. Really cool to see.

Is it weird when I read this video title, the first thing that came to my mind was the song by LL cool J - Phenomenon, but i was singing "Something like Necronomicon"
and for some reason I read that to the tune of "Don't go chasing waterfalls"
What an awesome coincidence. I am actually working on a digital oil painting of Evil Dead fan art right now.
Such an iconic piece 🤌 Praise Cthulhu
This looks delicate but mighty.
This is so cool. I have an extremely high quality replica and it's much larger then the original.
So this is the one that Bruce Campbell picked up and read from
Absolutely Awesome
This is so fascinating. I love props, i have a sword from the movie The Last Samurai.
Groovy.
I have the DVD copy of this, it holds a place of pride in my collection!
I swear he swings his hands around the props s'much just to make viewers nervous.
Tom Sullivan made it for the movie. Got to know him while working on a documentary about him. He was amazing and spent time with everyone who wanted to speak with him, such a legendary artist
still have my collectors edition from yeaaaars ago, the material used for the cover was a sort of foam/latex that unfortunately did not age well. still one of my favorite collectors edition dvds
I imagined it having *so* many more pages. You could easily read the Necronomicon in one bathroom session.
It is the Evil Dead 2 prop. Annie brings the extra lost pages to the cabin in that one. Have to imagine the ultimate Evil Dead 2 collection would include this and the lost pages😂
Sure, the Necronomicon is great and all, 🙋♂️but was anyone else geeking out about the Batwing in the back with that beautiful skyline and the Penguin’s umbrella too? That Batwing is an amazing prop size. I remember having a small plastic toy of it, so this brought back all the feels for me lol😄😄🖤🙌😁☺️
I have bid on it for the upcoming auction. lol
Fingers crossed
