With horror movies, a bigger budget is actually your enemy. You want to feel the rough edges, the handmade quality to good horror films. It's a genre that benefits from not having everything at your disposal.

I have to admit that I really don't care for horror movies all that much. I think mainly just because I'm a cheap scare.

This indication of audience interest is good for all horror movie makers at any budget level.

A movie like House of the Dead with around $7 million budget or Alone in the Dark with around $16 million budget are much easier to make profit than the typical $50 million major motion picture.

I'm not really a horror movie fan.

It is extremely difficult to get movies that cost more than $40 million to be made these days.

Strategically, horror films are a good way to start your career. You can get a lot of impact with very little.

Horror films are the ones that pay the bills, and historically, they have shown that they are good investments. They helped Universal survive with that initial splash of horror films in the 1930s and '40s. And horror films kept New Line alive with the 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' series.

If I'm really honest, I'm not a huge fan of scary films.

I don't understand it, but every horror film is huge. I would consider one, but I don't know if my heart would be in it.
