Zombies are the real lower-class citizens of the monster world and that's why l like them.

I can't really make fun of zombies. They're not liars. They're not cheats.

I really believe that you could do horror very inexpensively. I don't think it has anything to do with the effects, the effects are not the most important parts.

As great as Ed is, the wisdom out here is that he can't carry a movie. They'll pay him $3 million to be the second banana in Julia Roberts things. But they won't put up $3 million for an Ed Harris movie.

If one horror film hits, everyone says, 'Let's go make a horror film.' It's the genre that never dies.

I've always felt that the real horror is next door to us, that the scariest monsters are our neighbors.

If I fail, the film industry writes me off as another statistic. If I succeed, they pay me a million bucks to fly out to Hollywood and fart.
