If ever there was a holiday that deserves to be commercialized, it's Halloween. We haven't taken it away from kids. We've just expanded it so that the kid in adults can enjoy it, too.

I felt like I kind of got to know [Elvis Presley], and got a little peek inside what was going on there. That was pretty amazing.

Horror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.

[Vincent Price] was the funniest damn guy I ever met.

I'm driving down the freeway the other day, on my way to Knott's Scary Farm probably, and I hear this report on NPR that the whole lemmings thing was faked in the 1950s.

Isn't that unbelievable?
