Everybody underestimated the universality of the concept of a nightmare or a bad dream. Horror movies travel pretty well anyway. They're like action movies: People overseas can watch them and enjoy them, and they're not so culturally specific in terms of their references, and they can follow a good scary story.

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

When you see a guy flying into the air on fire, that's not me, obviously. I do all the water tricks, though.

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.

I know there really is someone out there for everyone.

Let's kill somebody to Sinatra! Or to early Elvis!

I'm a pretty psycho-obsessed shrink.
