I’d really recommend going there in Spring/Early Summer, when all the trees are dead.
The much talked-about barbed wire laid fallen and partially buried on the muddy forest floor, along with the NO TRESPASSING sign. (And one strange tale of an overall-clad hillbilly wearing pink UGG boots who managed to scam $100 off one group before he allowed them onto the site.)Īnyway, I was met with no resistance as I pulled up and parked. Before and after my visit, I read accounts of other peoples’ trips to the site, and a few were met by angry property owners who shooed them off. (I printed the directions given from this very site) However, directly across from the opening is a large house- whether these people own the cabin property or not is unknown. All the directions and landmarks are absolutely accurate. Ĭhristina Rose also wrote in with an update: I visited the site on the last day of Spring Break 2008. The cabin tin roof and chimmney are still there just like in the other description.

One more thing to add is while driving on Inman Rd and you come to Gregg Rd there there is a vacant lot with a free standing chimmney just like at the cabin but that is not it. Whoever owns the property has tried to cover up the path by laying cut down trees and branches so that it is hard to find. I also want to add that the entrance to the cabin has a Black with red lettering NO TRESSPASSING sign and the barb wire is now laying on the ground. Everything is still down to a tee for directions except that the Texaco gas station is now different name i believe it's CITGO, also while traveling along the way it was very discourging with all the houses around, I really thought that there was no way in hell that the property would still exist. I just visited the site on December 27th, 2004. The cellar in both of the "Evil Dead" movies wasn't actually underneath the cabin - a hole was dug and a hatch placed over it, the actual cellar was in a farm belonging to the parents of one of the filmmakers. There is a fork in the road towards the river that leads to the old bridge. The bridge is directly across from a white house.
It is a one lane road so be careful There are several pull offs. Cross the bridge and immediately on the left is bluff road at the end of the bridge. You will see a rail road sign and then a old barn then the new Bridge. To find the old bridge you need to take interstate 40 and get off in Newport, Tennessee, go through Newport on the 25 that will take you to Bridgeport. All that is left is some tin roof and the chimney (with the fireplace). I'll warn you that unless you are a big fan of the film, it won't be too exciting. Although it is quite overgrown, you should see the path which leads downhill to the site. Once you step over the fence (It's got a lot of slack to it if you just hold it down with your foot), you will simply want to stay somewhat to your left as you walk into the woods. UPDATE: Thanks to TheUndertaker180, you can see a picture of the entrance Here. I was told by the lady at the Texaco that people wander down there frequently without permission, so I wouldn't worry about getting arrested for trespassing but it's much more polite to ask if you can. It is very easy to miss because the wire is stretched across a very small opening in the dense woods. What you are looking for is a very small section of barb wire on the right side of the road. It is right past Quail Hollow Road, but if you each Greggs Road, you have gone too far. The entrance to the trail which leads to the remains of the cabin is about a quarter-mile down this road. You should then be on the lookout for Inman Bend Road. On Kidwells Ridge Road, you will pass both an Amoco and a Texaco (I recommend you go here and ask for directions if you get lost). You will turn off Andrew Johnson Highway onto Kidwells Ridge Road, which is right to the left of an Ingles supermarket (There are two of these in Morristown, so be sure to turn next to the new Ingles that's still open). The Cabin used was located in a small valley around half-a-mile from the nearest public dirt road.
The cabin originally selected for the shooting was unavailable when the crew arrived. The Evil Dead was filmed in a real-life abandoned cabin located in the mountains near Morristown, Tennessee, beginning in November, 1979. These scenes were actually shot at An Abandoned Cabin, located in Morristown, Tennessee. Wanna see the real life filming location used for The Cabin in the movie?
