Raimi was recently asked in an interview about making movies on different budgets, to which he said, "I like all the jobs. I love the different challenges of making a tiny budget movie with no creative oversight by others. It's like you're playing a musical instrument for an audience, however good you are, it's all your tune and just the way you want to play it. Then something like this, although there are restrictions and expectations, it's like they're giving you the finest symphony orchestra and saying, 'You're not going to play, yourself, because we've hired all the finest violinists, the best percussion, the best brass. But we will let you conduct them.'”
