Movies are about escape.

I don't think you need to spend $40 million to be creepy. The best horror films are the ones that are much less endowed.

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.

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 think you're only free if you're working on very low or huge money.

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

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!
