I don't like movies about serial killers, necessarily; it's too real and unpleasant for me.

I like a good mono track, it's right up front. I don't need all the surrounds telling me there are birds in the neighbourhood.

I realized what interested me as a student of film was one thing and the movies that I liked were another.

Rob [Tapert], myself and Bruce Campbell sat in hundreds of drive-insnot hundreds, but tens of drive-ins, watching these movies and learning how they were made, and we started to make our own in Super 8. And that’s really how we got into horror films. After a while we learned to really like them, and the craft that went into them.

As I began making my feature films, it was a great adventure. It was about constructing something I saw in my head or I had designed on storyboards and capturing that on film.

I've always loved... actually I didn't always love horror films. I started out and I only liked comedies and dramas.

I had a reporter ask me what it was like to have my best years over so soon. It stayed with me.
