Watch “SpongeBob SquarePants” Pay Tribute to ‘The Evil Dead’ With Necronomicon Appearance!
The most recent episode of “SpongeBob SquarePants” featured a fun little homage to Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead, and even franchise icon Bruce Campbell has taken notice.
A clip from the episode, titled “Tango Tangle/Necro-Nom-Nom-Nom-I-Con,” was shared on Twitter by the account @SamRaimiUpdates, and Campbell chimed in last night.
Campbell quote tweeted the video, which sees SpongeBob SquarePants reading from the Evil Dead franchise’s Necronomicon (aka the “Book of the Dead”), “Just don’t say the words!”
You can watch the clip below to see what SpongeBob does with the infamous book…
In the Season 14 episode of “SpongeBob” that originally aired on February 20, 2024, “Plankton and Karen take dance lessons and quickly become top of the class. Equipped with a magical spell book, SpongeBob cooks up chaos in the Krusty Krab kitchen.”

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation
The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.
The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”
The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.
The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
