The 'Scream' series is unique in that it's an ongoing murder mystery, even though it's a different killer, so if you know who that killer is, then half of the fun of the movie is gone.

The idea of running around and screaming about Jason Voorhees trying to kill you was fun.

I think of setting as almost a character of its own, influencing the other characters in ways they're not even aware of. So much of the success of a good ghost story rides on creating a creepy atmosphere; details of the landscape itself can help create a sense of dread.

The hardest part of ghost writing other people's stories is capturing their voices so that it isn't you talking, it's them.

You have to want the haunted house to scare you. It completely steals your money to go through with one of those people who shrug it all off, who touch the monsters' faces to show they're fake.

If he is a ghost, then it's very disappointing for me, because he is banished in the story, and that could mean that he won't be coming back, and that would be terrible, wouldn't it?

Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.

'Ghost Rider' definitely has an appeal that's far beyond comics.

Everybody has a story... and a scream.

To me, 'Scream' is a masterpiece on every level - the performances, the humor, the tone - it's just flawless.
