The amount of horror one used to hear about in one village could be quite extreme. But one might not have heard about all the other villages' horrors at the same time.

I think with Blair Witch and The Sixth Sense, people are much more open to something that is different.

I see in Cambridge, particularly among the women dons, a series of such grotesques! It is almost like a caricature series from Dickens to see our head table at Newnham.

We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.

I think what sets this one apart is that there are two horror movie icons finally battling each other. You actually see them beat the crap out of each other instead of just terrorizing the kids in the movie.

My experience of children on a film set, especially on a big film set like the 'Potter' one, is not wholly positive.

The genres of the fantastic and the grotesque are far more interesting to me than most mnemonic fiction.

If something comes along that is totally outside of horror, fine, but I find there's an immense amount of freedom within the genre.

For me, there is a basic recognition of horror as the most open doorway where the intersection of philosophical and religious ideas can come tighter.

I'm not so sure that horror should be dismissed as something less than literature.
