Psychological horror is more interesting to me than the explicitly physical.

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.

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

I'm really easily affected by horror films. I have pretty strong reactions to them.

I know that Wes Craven feels watching horror films does have a psychological effect, in a good way. It is very cathartic. He might be right about that.

Horror is about dreams and heightened states. It really is about taking away the logic on some level and getting right to the emotion of something.

The horror genre gets you in touch with our primal instincts as a people more than any other genre I can think of. It gives you this chance to sort of reflect on who we are and look at the sort of uglier side that we don't always look at, and have fun with that very thing.

I'm not afraid of special effects, but I see them very much as a means to an end.

Horror films are very effective to me; they have an impact on me. I think that real life things scare me a lot more.

Horror is beyond the reach of psychology.
