To Make Movies You Just Have To

I Don't Watch My Films. I've Seen 'em Enough After Cutting Them And Putting The Music On. I Don't Ever Want To See Them Again.

I Never Got In This Business, In Cinema, To Make Horror Movies. They Arrived On My Doorstep And I Got Typecast. Which Was Fine, I Enjoy It, But I Got Into This Business To Make Westerns. And The Kind Of Westerns I Used To See, They Died. So That Didn't Work Out.

Horror Is Always The Same. It Changes With The Culture And Changes With Technology. The Stories Are Always The Same. There Are Just Two Basic Stories In Horror, Two Simple Ones -- Evil Is Outside And Evil Is In Here [points To His Heart].

It [horror Genre] Never Dies. It Just Keeps Getting Re­invented And It Always Will. Horror Is A Universal Language; We're All Afraid. We're Born Afraid, We're All Afraid Of Things: Death, Disfigurement, Loss Of A Loved One. Everything That I'm Afraid Of, You're Afraid Of And Vice Versa. So Everybody Feels Fear And Suspense.

I Have Two Different Categories Of Favorite Films. One Is The Emotional Favorites, Which Means These Are Generally Films That I Saw When I Was A Kid; Anything You See In Your Formative Years Is More Powerful, Because It Really Stays With You Forever. The Second Category Is Films That I Saw While I Was Learning The Craft Of Motion Pictures.
