Though a lot of Raimi's technique were not often used in horror movies during that time period and it banned in a few countries for a while because of it's excessive gore.
Personally, I like Evil Dead 2 the best. The story is just great and I love the evil hand. Evil Dead always seemed to feel a little student filmish to me and Army of Darkness can be a little too campy.

I don't think he meant JUST the tilt but the angle combined with movement that really drew you into the scene. Raimi had some very original camera work although you're right, a lot of it was simply new combinations of older styles.
