Page "The Evil Dead (1981 film)" Paragraph 13

Actors Richard DeManincor ( Scott ) and Theresa Tilly ( Shelly ) both went under different " stage names " during the shoot, since they were members of the Screen Actors Guild and wanted to avoid being penalized for participating in a non-union production.

They are credited in the credits as " Hal Delrich " for DeManincor and " Sarah York " for Tilly.

According to Bruce Campbell's autobiography, If Chins Could Kill, Richard acquired his stage name by combining his short name with his roommates ' names, Hal and Del.
