I used to get headaches in 3D movies, and I didn't want the movie to give people headaches.

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.

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

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

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

The domination of one's spirit and mind is not a pretty thing, but I think it happens.

I'm not certain, but I have a little gypsy blood in me. And my mother always told me that her grandma could give someone the evil eye, and I'd better not cross her because she had some of that blood in her. Mother always believed that she could predict the future, and she had dreams that came true.
