Something like The Haunting is not worth the slightest consideration from me.
All stories should have some honesty and truth in them, otherwise you're just playing about.
I never really saw myself as writing science fiction anyway.
I made a rule for myself that the only television things I would do would be my own stories.
What can there be concerning outer space but ignorance?
The trick is the paradox - turning your story inside out. Now if it is something that appears to be of total normality and then suddenly turns inside out and is a different thing all together then that's fun to write.
