It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.

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.

The horror genre is important because it promotes experimentation in filmmaking.

If you think about it, a lot of great horror films have bad sequels just because the market demands you to make the other one right away. Thank God no one in the 'Evil Dead' family thinks that way.

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

For me, it's very easy to write a horror movie that's just a succession of scary sequences, but it's hard to find horror movies that have a genuine theme to them that are really exploring some aspect of our psychology and our fears.

A movie that's about other horror movies isn't interesting. A movie about who we are, is.

That's also why comedy and horror are my two favorite genres of film to write, because you get these outbursts of emotion from people, laughter and shock, and it's really thrilling, and I like to be thrilled.

Horror will always be there, it always comes back, it's a familiar genre that some people, not everyone - it's sort of the cinema anchovies. You either like it or you don't.

I like the fact that major studios have been attempting horror films recently.
