Just because I'm showing somebody being disemboweled doesn't mean that I have to get heavy and put a message behind it.
George A. RomeroI don't think you need to spend $40 million to be creepy. The best horror films are the ones that are much less endowed.
George A. RomeroI 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.
George A. RomeroA zombie film is not fun without a bunch of stupid people running around and observing how they fail to handle the situation.
George A. RomeroAs 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.
George A. RomeroHollywood doesn't trust me, and we don't really mix. When a movie has stars, everything in the budget goes up, even the catering costs. I just don't like the process of having Suits all around, so I prefer casting unknowns. It adds another level of tension - you don't quite know what to expect from them. My movies don't even need that much money.
