Now that its been a month, and I've suffered through as much of the Easter Egg videos as I can stomach, I wish to pose this question.

Much has been said about Raimi putting in call backs to previous movies - the octopus monster climbs the building just like Otto in Spiderman, the resurrected Strange reaching from the dirt like the girlfriend in Evil Dead etc

But none of them has mentioned what I thought was the most obvious and possibly earliest one in the opening scene.

Did no one else draw parallels between this bit (sorry, couldn't find a grab that included the menacing tentacles reaching up):



...and the famous assault by the tree scene from the 1981 classic that started out with this?



Or is it just not being brought up out of decency and that the first image features a young teenager?
