That's what heroic stories do for us. They show us the way. They remind us of the good we are capable of.

Any time anyone makes a comic book into a movie, in some way, I think they have to kill the comic book.

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.

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

Every filmmaker knows that when you make a book into a movie, the first thing you have to do is kill the book, unfortunately. You've got to recreate it.

That's what heroic stories do for us. They show us the way. They remind us of the good we are capable of.

Well it's always been an element of the horror film to show us the gross out. I mean that's one option for all filmmakers making a horror film and it's not something I've found myself above either.
