Fear has disappeared. No more fear. In Asia, it is different. They've discovered again the fear and the psychology of the characters. Without psychology, the horror film doesn't exist.

I wanted something new, the supernatural. The witch, the sorcerer, I love this. I love the films of the witch and sorcerers and magic, its wonderful!

Every writer, to some extent, writes about himself.

But you know, as you say, the original versions of my films are getting out there, slowly.

It irritated me that my fans kept wanting me to retread old ground.

Then I realized my early work did have something special that audiences adored apart from what I humbly thought about them. They occupy a distinguished niche in Italian film history and probably always will.

Theres nothing gratuitous about my films.
