My guess is:
1- Ash came back to Elk Grove after "Army of Darkness". He never revealed anyone where the Knowby Cabin is located. He told people (not Police) the "story" about the Kandarian Demon, but they just believed that he was a psycho murderer. The legend of "Ashy Slashy" was thus born.
2- Elk Grove people (not the Police) covered Ash, just to had him free and then later get revenge on him like Elm Street did with Freddy Krueger. Scott, Linda, Cheryl and Shelly were declared "MISSING" and people testified that Ash wasn't with them.
3- Ash escaped. Elk Grove's people just didn't care, because they didn't want media attention or Police/FBI running free for the city. Maybe they had some crime affairs to hide, after all. Local mobsters?
4- In the while, Raymond Knowby and his family were declared "MISSING" as well, but nobody knew about the cabin he owned.

The police never investigated the cabin (Linda's skull was still in the vice in the toolshed) so i guess they were are just considered "missing". I do agree it would've been after AOD

I do agree it would've been after AOD Yeah, that's my point too. EPISODE 8 was pretty clear on the matter. The tape recorder was on the floor. Ash's 1982 blue jacket was still in there, as well as Scott's - both on the clothes hanger. Nobody removed the wood cross (Shelly) outside the Knowby Cabin. The list goes on. Glad to see you, Krule. |

That's probably the case. Also none of Ash and his friends' school buddies or whatever even knew where they went to on that fateful weekend.
The first film has this kind of weird atmosphere that it feels isolated from reality. Nothing outside of the bridge or the cabin exists. It's like they crossed over into The Twilight Zone.
Mix that in with Evil Dead II and it doesn't have any continuity. Evil Dead I couldn't have happened because Ash first arrives only with Linda. It's a retcon. But AvED insists that BOTH films happened. Completely contradictory.

But AvED insists that BOTH films happened. Completely contradictory. 1- Ash and Scott are 24 years old, they are not kids anymore. No school buddies, I mean. I would even say that Scott, Linda and Shelly come from different towns, not Elk Grove. That's why Elk Grove "covered" Ash without having any problems with parents and relatives. 2- You're right. It truly seems a Twilight Zone episode. Great similitude. 3- Of course. Retcons. It's my Plastic Universe Theory OR we're dealing with different universes. AvED has its own continuity. |

I mean isn't the point at the moment that we do not know how ash got back from the dark ages? When that is resolved, we will know more, right? It cannot be the apocalypse ending of ARMY so it has to be the Smart ending. But the Smart ending is also very sparse and does not tell a lot.
PS I do not believe in retcon or plastic universes but that it is just one story, told very sloppily under those circumstances.

It cannot be the apocalypse ending of ARMY so it has to be the Smart ending. But the Smart ending is also very sparse and does not tell a lot. The S-Mart ending is not canon anymore. Sure. I mean, having the Kandarian Demon running wild for the town and possessing a lady. Ash killing the Deadite in front of so many people... the more I think about it, the more is evident that the ending is not canon anymore.  Don't forget Ruby was searching for him --- or better, she was searching for the "mysterious individual" who stole the Necronomicon in 1982. I guess Ruby discovered his civilian identity very late; I would say some years before the start of AvED. |

Indeed. AoD may not even be considered canon anymore. Maybe there's an alternative 1300AD written into AvED?
