Was the original photo from the back cover with the lady attempting to escape the grave with a hand around her neck ever featured in a version of the first Evil Dead? The original photo I can find appears to be a still from footage, is there a missing scene relating to this to ever surface? I have also seen various version of this shot used as the full size front cover of the cassette insert.
Original VHS back cover photo girl hand grave cut footage?

I'm not sure what you're asking there, but if you're asking if there's a cut of the first Evil Dead film that features a scene similar to that, the answer is no.
It isn't a still from footage and once again, the answer is no.
That shot is from a photo shoot done a while after filming to gather images for use in promotional material (such as posters, VHS covers, etc). It was used as reference for the painted poster for the film. So maybe that's the other version of it that you've seen. There's a still photo and there's also a painting of it. Here's the photo:
And here's the painted poster:

The photographer for these above promo used only shots was Mike Ditz, the model he used was Bridgette Hoffman. Mike Ditz is still in business today, I've got one of his old business cards knocking around somewhere ..
