There is something about the sameness people like. And what I've tried to do with all the zombie films is purposely make them different. That may be part of why it takes so long for people to see what it's intended to be.

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

My zombie films were all sort of satirical, with political messages. So I was doing them inexpensively and quietly off in left field somewhere.

There are so many factors when you think of your own films. You think of the people you worked on it with, and somehow forget the movie. You can't forgive the movie for a long time. It takes a few years to look at it with any objectivity and forgive its flaws.

The zombie was just an intriguing character; it is a sympathetic character.

My opinion of a good zombie walk is to loll your head as if it's a little too heavy and the muscles have begun to atrophy.
