I really am passionate about making low-budget movies. You can try new stuff and unusual stuff, and you can break the rules.

I love musicals. I love horror movies and I love art movies.

For some reason, people value being scared less than they value laughing.

There are a lot of parallels between doing a sequel and doing low budget movies, which is they give creative parameters. As a creative person myself, I work better with parameters as opposed to anything goes.

But, it's much easier to do that than produce the movies from scratch. It excites the same thing in me, whether we build it from the ground up, or whether we come on when the movie is done or almost done. The idea of supporting the underdog and getting a smaller movie out there in a big way is equally exciting.

The scares are the easier part of scary movies. The hard part of scary movies is what leads up to the scares.

I try to work with people who you're not used to seeing in scary movies. I think it makes for a more interesting mix, when you're watching the movie.
