Horror movies can be very interesting because they can deal with intangible subjects that are full of emotion.

I'm not really a horror movie fan.

The interesting thing about a movie is the movie.

I see horror as part of legitimate film. I don't see it as an independent genre that has nothing to do with the rest of cinema.

Horror movies don't exist unless you go and see them, and people always will.

It is important to consider that the horror movies should - like modern art - not have a too obvious meaning. When you watch them, it is more important what you feel than what you understand.

The best movies now are called 'thrillers.' Because if you use the word 'horror,' people's associations are straight-to-video crap.

I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you're making a horror film doesn't mean you can't make an artful film.

Horror is so often a 'thinkless' genre, sort of considered popcorn movies, but you really put a lot of, not just heart and soul, but a lot of physical energy into it.

Horror movies are all about getting your attention; you always have to be on guard. People love to be on the edge - there's nothing like a surprise.
