I expect a zombie to show up on Sesame Street soon, teaching kids to count.

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.

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

Everybody knows the rules, even though some break those rules.

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

It would be very hard to write a serious drama and say some of these things. You can be much more abstract and allusive with horror, and it's very forgiving to the author. You don't necessarily have to take an absolutely positive position. You can just write whatever.

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