The cowboy movies is not our go-to programmer anymore, here's a horror film.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But there is always a time and a place for the subsets within genres.

I have friends in New York that won't leave New York, and they're really talented people, but they'd rather take an acting class in New York than do a play in Florida or Boston. That's just weird to me, but they get into that I've-got-to-be-in-the-center-of-the-universe mentality. I'm not that way.

Everybody underestimated the universality of the concept of a nightmare or a bad dream.

I get a lot of teenagers going, 'Yo, Krueger,' and honking their horn and giving me the claw. Yeah, I'm recognized.

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.

I love fire. Fire is hypnotic.
