One of the great elements of the supernatural is having that mystery and letting people's imaginations run wild with it.

I saw Alien when I was 8 years old. To me, it was like a combination of Jaws and Star Wars and that's the movie that made me want to be a director.

I was listening to music to kind of pump myself up and get psyched up, like I was listening to Iron Maiden and Misfits and Dead Kennedys, and it was like my '80s Massachusetts parking-lot heavy metal and Guns N' Roses.

What is important to me is that people know I respect the business of making movies.

Believe it or not, but I was a camp councilor for three years. I love kids.

I'll direct any movie starring a monkey or the Olsen Twins. Preferably both.

People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.
