Henrietta Knowby is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Linda) of the 1987 comedy-horror film Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead II, and a minor antagonist in the TV series Ash vs Evil Dead.
She was the wife of Professor Raymond Knowby and the mother of Annie Knowby, until she became a Deadite after her husband translated the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis script.
In the 1987 film Evil Dead II, she was portrayed by the late Lou Hancock. In the Ash vs Evil Dead TV series, she was portrayed by Alison Quigan. In both Evil Dead II and Ash vs Evil Dead, she was portrayed by Ted Raimi during the more make-up heavy "Stage 2" and "Gooseneck" Deadite form sequences.
Biography[]
Henrietta was possessed shortly after Prof. Knowby read the pages of the Necronomicon, unleashing the evil. Knowby killed Henrietta or possibly just incapacitated her and, not being able to bring himself to dismember her corpse, buried her under the cellar.
After Ash mistakenly attacked Annie Knowby and her group who had arrived at the Cabin, he was knocked unconscious by Jake and thrown into the cellar. Shortly after, Henrietta's corpse awoke and attempted to kill Ash but was saved by the others as they pulled him out in the nick of time. Henrietta attempted to persuade the group to let her out of the cellar, seemingly returning to normal, only to turn back into a Deadite just as Ed was possessed.
Sometime later, Ash is possessed once again in the woods and turns on his remaining companions, incapacitating Jake. Annie retreats to the cabin and accidentally stabs Jake with the Kandarian dagger thinking he is Ash. After pulling the dagger out, she drags him to the cellar door, where he is killed by Henrietta in a bloodbath. After Ash is returned to normal, he ventures down into the cellar to get the pages of the Necronomicon that Jake threw away, and is incapacitated by Henrietta.
When Annie attempts to read the passages to make the evil a physical form, she is then attacked. Before Henrietta can kill her, Ash appears after regaining consciousness and fights Henrietta, killing her by impaling her with his chainsaw, sawing off both her arms, sawing off her head, and then finally blowing her severed head to bits with his shotgun after Henrietta showed herself to still be just barely alive and screaming that she would swallow his soul.
Ash vs Time Travel[]
After the death of Pablo Bolivar, Ash Williams and others go back to 1982 during the events of Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn (The entire biography above basically) where he and a student of Prof. Knowby are locked in the fruit cellar where Ash accidentally frees Henrietta after being tricked into freeing her. Ash and Henrietta battle before Henrietta transforms into her skeleton snake form and tries to 'rip Ash's face off' and body slam on him which she misses both attempts and it allows Ash to get the upper hand to use his chainsaw hand to decapitate her, technically, again. Henrietta doesn't seem to be alive after her decapitation even though she should still be alive and her decapitated head should be able to slightly move and talk.
