I also have always liked the monster within idea. I like the zombies being us. Zombies are the blue-collar monsters.

I grew up on DC Comics, moral tales where the bad guys got their comeuppance. To me the gory panels or grotesque stuff just made me chuckle.

My stuff is my stuff. Sometimes it's not as successful as some of the other stuff. But it's my stuff.

As a filmmaker, I love the medium. I have a great affection for it and I've been lucky enough to do all different kinds of films. The greatest part of the success I've had comes from horror. I love the idea of mixing humor and horror and to me, it's all a giggle.

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

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

As a filmmaker you get typecast just as much as an actor does, so I'm trapped in a genre that I love, but I'm trapped in it!
