Whats great about Freddy in this is when he gets to comment and manipulate the back stories and the fears of the characters - especially with Jason.

People actually were worried that I was going to get stereotyped as a monster after Freddy, but my God, I got stereotyped as white trash for years, the best friend for years, the redneck for years, the nerd for years and let me tell you...it's better to be a monster than to be a nerd.

I am lucky. I am fortunate. I found the love of my life.

The modern horror audience is wise to our tricks this lets it in on the gag.

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

There's plenty of great stuff out there. I think it's just what we do is we all spend our allowance on the thing that we're told is going to be the big event, and sometimes the big event is disappointing.
