"Who will be next possessed by the evil dead?
Will anyone survive this night of terror? I won't tell. See this movie, you won't regret it!!!!! The Greatest Horror Movie of All Time!!!!!"

I don't know what the hell is this LeronJomes ( talk) 14:49, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
After looking into this, it seems as though sourced content was changed by a blocked editor, Maperuespino ( talk · contribs). The article originally cited a book that said it grossed $2 million overseas, but he changed this to say that it grossed $27 million overseas. And now, a few years later, an IP editor changed the gross, saying that "the numbers says $29 million". It turns out that the IP editor seems to be citing this source, from The Numbers, which does indeed say the worldwide gross is $29 million. This is in direct contrast to Box Office Mojo and what the book apparently says. What should we go with? In the meantime, I've added both numbers to the infobox.

I have engaged in a sorely needed rewrite of the summary, which had a number of sub-Wikipedia quality text issues, including:
Other issues requiring fixes can be found by reviewing my edit summaries.
Another editor has raised concerns about length from the improved summary, and, while recognizing that the summary as it existed before my improvements was simply not up to snuff in a great many ways and required a great deal of improvement, I understand those concerns completely and aim to work to trim and consolidate the text. Though some of those additions are certainly needed to make sense out of the less-than-sense-making text there now, a great deal of the necessary improvements can likely be consolidated and winnowed down to prevent any concerns about bloat.
I've reached out to that editor to discuss the matter constructively, and will hold off on that necessary work on the summary for at least a day or two to facilitate the opportunity for it to be a collaborative effort. If anyone else would like to assist, please weigh in. RiverCityRelay ( talk) 14:34, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
Can anyone help me make this actor's article? LeronJomes ( talk) 14:50, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
