Page "Evil Dead II" Paragraph 26

Even so, there were hardships, mostly involving Ted Raimi's costume.

Ted, director Sam's younger brother, had been involved in the first film briefly, acting as a fake Shemp, but in Evil Dead II he gets the larger role of the historian's demon-possessed wife, Henrietta.

Raimi was forced to wear a full-body, latex costume, crouch in a small hole in the floor acting as a " cellar ", or on one day, both.

Raimi became extremely overheated, to the point that his costume was literally filled with liters of sweat ; special effects artist Gregory Nicotero describes pouring the fluid into several Dixie cups so as to get it out of the costume.

The sweat is also visible on-screen, dripping out of the costume's ear, in the scene where Henrietta spins around over Annie's head.
