The new "Ghoul Within" update of Fallout 76 adds some new locations to the game, including a secluded cabin (complete with a workshed), with a cream-yellow car rusting away nearby. Apparently a mounted deer head and chainsaw can be found inside the cabin, too.

That definitely sounds like a full-on Evil Dead nod. The yellow car alone is a dead giveaway, but adding the mounted deer head and chainsaw? That’s straight-up Ash’s cabin. I wonder if Bethesda might go even further with it — maybe add a cheeky Necronomicon easter egg tucked away somewhere?
These days I rarely touch anything outside of the occasional online game — I usually play online after picking something here first. It just used to eat up so much of my time, and I know myself… if I were still playing now, I’d 100% be crawling all over the map trying to find that cabin and car. Wouldn’t even care if it took me hours — I’d have to see it for myself.

Uh, why don't you start one? (j/k). This isn't an Evil Dead reference.

The Evil Dead got another shout-out on Jeopardy the other night (April 30th, 2025).
Bruce has seen this and responded.
As many others online have pointed out, since the question seems to specifically be referring to ED1, the correct answer would be "Naturom Demonto".

Fair point sorry although Bruce is a private man so I'd feel a bit stalker-ish posting random pics of his family to start a whole thread devoted to that. Sorry Kain but I just dumped this pic of Bruce's Dad here to be completely honest lol.

Nearly choked when it popped up, but that group was on a streak of misses and non responses unlike anything I have ever seen on Jeopardy in many years of watching.

The PC game Multipath Adventures: Xena Warrior Princess - Girls Just Want To Have Fun (based on the Xena episode "Girls Just Want To Have Fun") has several Evil Dead nods in bits of character dialog. The game has multiple endings and choices you can make along the way, but it seems like the Evil Dead references are only present in the best possible route you can take (I watched multiple videos covering the various paths just to confirm it). Timestamps to the references are bold.
* The first reference is right at the start, where "swallow their souls" gets dropped (2:14)
* Gabrielle says the Bacchae are "turned into souless evil dead beings that roam the dark underbelly of man's domain" (3:20), which is very close to Professor Knowby's quote from ED1: "...those forces which roam the forest and dark bowers of man's domain."
* Xena saves Joxer and says "buckle up furball, 'cause you're goin' for a ride!" (5:46)
* "Well hello Mister Fancypants" (7:19)
* Joxer exclaims "The evil dead!" (32:51)
* Xena says "let's head into those caves and carve ourselves some Bacchae" (33:20) which is close to Ash's "carve ourselves a witch" from ED2
