I do know that I've read somewhere that it's been statistically proven that in times of war, horror films are much more popular. I don't know why that is. You'd think it'd be the opposite. You'd think people would want to escape from it.

People have always liked to be frightened. People love to feel that jolt of adrenaline. People love roller coasters. People love skydiving. These things that really get your heart pumping, and horror films are sort of a safe way to get that rush I guess.

I don't think you need to spend $40 million to be creepy. The best horror films are the ones that are much less endowed.

Horror films are the anchovies of the cinema. Either you like them, or you don't.

In most horror films, you don't really get to understand why this character is the way he is.

Everybody's making horror films and, to me, not especially well.
