		Sam was plopped down in the center of the school hallway, dressed in a deerstalker cap, playing with dolls.
		The beginning of Sam Raimi's career happened thanks to the wild hair of a man who really should never have gotten involved at all.
		At the time, what Sam envisioned was essentially the story of "The Army of Darkness." Obviously, the budget wasn't going to allow for that, and DeLaurentiis was solid as a rock on his figures - not a penny more.

	INTERVIEW: Sam Raimi Opens "The Gift," Discovers Suspense Indiewood-Style
		Okay, so Raimi's aims were admittedly not for the most aesthetically high-minded of concerns, but they were in the interests of learning his craft.
		Raimi: No, that was not the excitement for me. For me on this one, although I agree with you, it is a return for me of suspense and the horror genre, but what was exciting was for me to have the ability to work with an actor with the talent of Cate Blanchett.
		Raimi: That was done through simple techniques of filtration and some optical effects shots, but mostly through the fantastic visual place that Savannah, GA is. It was more the choice of location that enabled us to get the sights on the film, Jamie Anderson's photography of them.

	June 2004 \| blackfilm.com \| features \| interviews \| an interview with sam raimi
		Sam: Well the hesitation in not knowing if I would direct part 3 was that they hadn't asked me. Maybe they wouldn't like the second one, even had they asked me I would have to really have a great desire to do it, I think in order for the movie to be worth while.
		Sam: We had to be sensitive to use Tobey we had to use him for a lot of stunts I couldn't get away from that.
		Sam: This time around Peter had lived such a baring life being this hero and this is a point were he decided he had to forsake his personal happiness, he tired that but couldn't live with the moral decay.

		Sam is, perhaps, the nicest person I've ever met.

		I haven't said anything yet about what an impressive artist Sam Raimi is. I don't think I need to convince anyone of that.

	Sam Raimi
		Like most children of the 1960s, Sam Raimi grew up acting out his fantasies with the benefit of an 8 mm movie camera.
		Raimi switched to slapstick comedy with Crimewave (1985), a wild Detroit-based crime caper co-scripted by Raimi's friends and fellow devotees of the bizarre, Joel and Ethan Coen.

	Sublime Sam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		I don't think Sam was very hands-on with it at all but it was definitely spawned from him and created by his bastard children at Renaissance Pictures (Rob Tapert, more specifically).
		Sam has inspired me greatly in that aspect and I may not have gotten as heavily into filmmaking as I have had it not been for my worshipping him.
		I consider Sam to be one of the biggest influences on me outside of my family, if not the biggest.
