Without psychology, the horror film doesn't exist.

Each film I make changes me in some way. When I start the picture I'm one person and by the time I finish I'm another.

Horror by definition is the emotion of pure revulsion. Terror of the same standard, is that of fearful anticipation.

I'm very interested in portraying homosexual man and woman in my films because I'm interested in their lives and their problems.

I used a Luma crane, a wounderful device; it makes the camera able to go anywhere. It was also used on Friday the 13th Part 3.

The process of writing and directing drives you to such extremes that it's natural to feel an affinity with insanity. I approach that madness as something dangerous, and I'm afraid, but also I want to go to it, to see what's there, to embrace it. I don't know why, but I'm drawn.

When I was a teenager, I read a lot of Poe.
