Trivia
According to the showrunner Craig DiGregorio, the Books from Beyond was based on the interior of a store they saw in Los Angeles

Goofs
In the beginning exterior scene, a car is shown driving towards the camera; after the next interior shot, an exterior shot shows the car driving away from the camera on the same stretch of road. Notice the tower on the right in the distance and the building with two lights on the left side present in the same spots.

Xena vs Ash vs The Evil Dead.

Ruby Knowby (lovely Lucy Lawless) follows Ash's path of destruction, keen to lay her hands on his Necronomicon. Ash and his pals have taken the ancient tome (bound in human flesh and written in blood) to a book specialist who summons a demon (a wimpy one, teeny tiny like a mouse) to help them reverse the spell that has released an ancient evil into the world. Their plan doesn't go smoothly and they end up battling the demon.

This episode seems to be a little less gory than the previous two blood-soaked efforts, but makes up for the toned down gore with some cracking lines of dialogue ("I'm an alone wolf"), a really creepy demon, and the aforementioned warrior princess, Ms. Lawless, making it lots of fun for fans of both fantasy and horror. I'm still hooked.
