'The Exorcist' is one of the finest movies ever made, and it just so happens to be a scary movie.

I've always said if I had to pinpoint what's more important in a scary movie, the soundscape or the visuals, I'd pick the sound.

For me, the sound design and the musical score is a big part of what makes scary movies work.

'Scary Movie' is very broad, and the reality is extreme.

If you care about the characters, then whatever scary thing happens to them, you feel it even more.

I'm terrified of the supernatural things, which is why I'm very grateful that I don't see things like that. Because if I did see things of the paranormal persuasion, I don't think I'd be able to continue making scary movies.
