To me, it's everything horror stands for in my mind. It's campy, it's funny, it's over-the-top gory, it's scary, it's outrageous, and it's got a good cast that performs well without being star-studded.
Sam didn't try to force anything when he made the film; he just got a solid ensemble of filmmakers and put together a movie that wasn't made to make money (though it did), and that wasn't trying to impress anybody (though it did).
It is just plain scary fun, with no strings attached. I could say the same about Evil Dead 2, Dawn of the Dead (1978), An American Werewolf in London, and The Thing as well, but none triumph like Raimi's masterpiece.
