I don't want to spoon-feed the audience, like, "This is the funny guy, this is one you hate, this is the one you like." A lot of movies do that. They don't really give you a choice. They show you the jock, and he's an idiot, and everybody has to hate him. You have no choice.

What some of the early horror genre masters knew, and what I know, is that the audience are perverts, but in the best possible way.

Not all horror fans love Evil Dead because of the humor, at least not me.

You don't see a wonderful shot in a comedy. Why? Because they don't want to distract you from what matters, which is the joke. It has to be funny, so usually all the things in the background don't matter.

It's a convention, but in horror movies the female characters usually tend to believe easier in a supernatural event.

I think the more honest you are with the storytelling, the better it works.

Comedy is all about the joke. Comedies usually don't do anything fancy with the camera [or] the lighting. It doesn't matter. It should never be fancy.
