I think that what's happened is that there's been a rediscovery of some good old-school films and a realization that there's always a place for them. We don't have to outgrow them with the new technology and we can do them with it and we can do them without it. We shouldn't always have the demands made on us to do it.

That's the thing with independent cinema: They all get good reviews, and they don't make money. Some of them are good. Some are great. And some are terrible.

Why couldn't there be even a western slasher, or why couldn't there be a serial killer in a kind of pirate buccaneer Caribbean, just someone that's just doing terrible, terrible things in the ports, the sexy ports of Jamaica during the Pirate Renaissance.

American Horror Story on cable now, it is terrific. There has to be room to re-invent.

Because I am known in the horror genre now, I try and do at least one horror movie a year for my fans, my fans have been so good to me.

Gosh, I'd like to direct Our Town on stage.

I always serve the writer first because I'm English trained, even though I'm American.
