Some movies to me are like vampires - they suck all of the energy out of me and I don't like that. I like to give the audience energy if I can.

I feel the horror audience is a great audience, and I would ideally make a movie that would give them as much energy as they're willing to give to the picture.

I don't like movies about serial killers, necessarily; it's too real and unpleasant for me.

I think movies lost a lot when they went to stereo and five-track sound.

It's lovely being a producer. It's really a lot of fun and I can learn a lot.

I like something where I can really use my imagination and be an active participant in the construction of the monster and usually that's in the world of the supernatural or the world of the fantastic, so that's why those kinds of stories about demons and the supernatural appeal to me or maybe I'm really interested in that subject.
