The Great Old Ones aren't traditionally evil like the deadites are; they're alien and unknowable. Your mind will shatter like glass before you can understand them. Deadites are just very evil, taunting, and generally an all-around pain.That said, Evil Dead strikes me as sort of a sub-genre of the Cthulhu mythos (I would call it "Cthulhu pulp" but thats been done <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ). While in the normal game style, ordinary people go around investigating strangeness and then lose it when they finally find the strangeness, in the Evil Dead variation, they go around investigating strangeness, and then start blowing the hell out of it when they find it. Thats the basic difference anyway. You can still play CoC with an Evil Dead theme, just change the style.I personally think itd be cool when the PCs go "Alright, Cthulhu's city of Ry'leh just rose from the sea, so we're gonna get on a boat, go there, and kick his rubbery @$$ off our planet!" and then venture through a very maze-like city before confronting the "final boss" that is Cthulhu.</blockquote>
