Scotty

Very little is known about Scotty prior to his trip to the Knowby cabin (including his full name), though at some point in his youth he befriended Ash Williams. By his late-teens/early 20s, he was attending Michigan State University and dating a girl named Shelly.

Though he believed this story, the cabin was in fact owned by the Knowby family, who used the cabin so infrequently that it was believed to be abandoned. In October of 1982, Scotty, along with the company of four others (his girlfriend Shelly, Ash, Ash's girlfriend Linda, and Ash's sister Cheryl) journeyed to this cabin for a weekend getaway. Driving Ash's Oldsmobile to the location given to him, Scotty and the others were nearly involved with a head-on collision with a passing truck heading in their direction. While Scotty was quick to blame the car, the almost accident was the result of a looming demon roaming the woods nearby. Upon their arrival to the property, Scotty was the first person to step inside the cabin and explore the nearby workshed. Later in the evening as dinner was being prepared, Scotty teased Cheryl by whispering "dead bodies in the cellar" in her ear, referring to an incident occurring just a few hours prior where Cheryl (alone in the cabin at the time) allegedly witnessed the cellar door mysteriously flying open by itself. Scotty's joking came to an abrupt end when the cellar door opened on it's own once more, to which everyone in the group rushed to investigate. Feeling that everyone else were "cowards", Scotty ventured down to explore the cellar for whatever might be causing the door to open. With Ash not too far behind him, the two discovered several objects left behind by the cabin's previous "renters", including: a shotgun and a box of shells, a strange skeleton-like dagger, a reel-to-reel tape recorder, and an old book with a horrific face as a cover.
