I think probably the scariest thing, as weird as it sounds, was 'The Wizard of Oz' and the flying monkeys with the witch. I remember seeing that - it still seems freaky.

There`s always the trick with anything what`s a remake. Like how much do you want to make that is brand new and how much to you want to keep that is original?

I can picture certain things in my mind, while writing the script, but then I can also tell that everyone else might be a little confused about what it's supposed to look like at the end of the day. But it all works out. I find a way.

I have always found clowns really fascinating, especially on film. Even as a kid I was never scared of them.

Sometimes I'll go out into the crowd and keep singing, but I'll get maybe seven rows out and I'm out of synch, I'm a couple seconds behind the band and then it becomes chaos.

I don't like the fact that people are supposed to think horror movies have a way things should go. I always try to do the exact opposite of what people expect and want.

I don't know that I have a fascination with witches per se - well, maybe I just have a fascination with everything that's weird.
