Most horror films fail to scare me.

Everybody's making horror films and, to me, not especially well.

Critics tend to be very hard on the horror genre.

With a horror movie, you don't want to anticipate where things are going to go.

People used to always complain that horror films have no stories, that it's all just about kills and stuff like that.

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 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.

A really good horror film has a story.
