Sam Raimi's worst ever job was delivering washing machines and mattresses to "creepy people in scary places".
The 66-year-old filmmaker made his name and reputation with the cult classic 1981 supernatural horror The Evil Dead which he followed with two sequels, and other critical and commercial successes such as Darkman (1990), The Quick and the Dead (1995) and his 2000s Spider-Man trilogy, which starred Tobey Maguire as the webslinger.
