There's always a tone that you have to hit right in horror. With the blood, you want to make sure that it makes sense all along.

When you're a director you always feel weird with another director watching over your shoulder.

Definitely my favorite cut is the one that got put out. That's my favorite version of the film, the one that I put in theaters. That's my directors cut, there's no question about it.

There are the horror fans that love the Evil Dead because of the humor, but I’m sure it’s not all of them. Not all horror fans love Evil Dead because of the humor, at least not me.

I've seen a lot of movies that were great and scary, but not particularly fancy in their filmmaking or performance. And they're still scary, and I think a good horror movie should be scary above all things.

That's kind of my ideal sequel - a movie that continues the story, takes one character and moves on, and moves forward with that character that survived with the first one.

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.
