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.

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

I really don't like to go for the stereotypes. I try to give you characters that you don't know until you get to know them, and [decide] how you should feel about them.

Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.

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.

If you think about it, a lot of great horror films have bad sequels just because the market demands you to make the other one right away.

I try not to be spectacular with the camera. I try to be a witness of what's going on.
