Released in 1987, Evil Dead 2 is a horror comedy directed by Sam Raimi and starring Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, a cabin caretaker battling demonic forces in the woods. The laugh comes from Ash during a sequence where the evil around him pushes him toward madness, and it has become one of the film's most quoted and clipped moments. Shared widely through horror edits, reaction videos and meme compilations, it endures because it captures the film's blend of terror and slapstick in a single sound.

The maniacal laugh of Ash Williams from Evil Dead 2, a short horror movie sound effect used in memes and edits for creepy, unhinged or villainous moments.
This clip captures Ash Williams breaking into a wild, escalating laugh in Evil Dead 2, shifting from a nervous chuckle to a full, deranged cackle that sounds both terrified and triumphant. The voice is raspy, breathless and slightly unhinged, with sharp bursts that rise and fall like he has finally lost control. It lasts just long enough to land as a punchline without overstaying its welcome. For viewers, it instantly signals madness, dark humour or a character snapping, turning an ordinary scene into something creepy, funny and memorable at the same time.
