I find it kind of disturbing when people cheer when someone just gets stabbed brutally.

When my parents died, it became clear to me that there was an end in sight. Death was never a real thing to me. And then when that happened I realized I only have so many years left, if I'm lucky.

I used to have to save my allowances to buy a quart of rubber to make a mask, and it's how I spent all my free time.

I do fat people and these makeups are really hard to do, but I want to make monster movies.

I wanted to make sure to always stay current, try to find new material and stay with the modern techniques.

I was born in 1950 and watched science fiction and horror movies on TV and was always really fascinated by them.

Sometimes we think of a creature like a person in a suit, but then you have limitations of two eyes and two legs - they have to see and breathe. I got more into puppetry because it offered more possibilities.
