My stuff is my stuff. I do it for my own reasons, using my own peculiar set of guidelines. I'm not a student of the genre. I don't care what anybody else does.

I've gotten letters, but mostly from Bible-belt types who say, you must be Satan! They come right out and call me Satan and hope that I'm damned to hell.

Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller', I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.

The Thing from Another World' was the first movie that really scared me.

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

A zombie film is not fun without a bunch of stupid people running around and observing how they fail to handle the situation.

I always thought of the zombies as being about revolution, one generation consuming the next.
