hate giving guy
I don't want to spoon-feed the audience, like, "This is the funny guy, this is one you hate, this is the one you like." A lot of movies do that. They don't really give you a choice. They show you the jock, and he's an idiot, and everybody has to hate him. You have no choice.
character giving trying
I really don't like to go for the stereotypes. I try to give you characters that you don't know until you get to know them, and [decide] how you should feel about them.
fun jumping puppets
As a director, there is nothing more fun than seeing an audience screaming and jumping. You are the ultimate puppet master, controlling the emotions of the audience.
hate people use
There's a reason people use CGI: it's cheaper and faster. I hate that.
art guy designer
In another life, I would love to be the art guy - a production designer or a maybe even a composer.
thinking people violence
I think violence in movies, for it to work, you have to use it smartly. People get numb very fast. If you have too much violence in the beginning, it gets to a point where you don't feel it.
acting able aspect
I love just about every aspect of the filmmaking except acting. I would never be able to do that, but the rest I really enjoy.
writing people want
As a storyteller, when you're writing a movie and when you're directing, you want to keep people entertained. That's the whole point, right? It has to be entertaining.
laughing people comedy
Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.
horror audience
What some of the early horror genre masters knew, and what I know, is that the audience are perverts, but in the best possible way.
crafts fans film
I always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft.
thinking blood scare
A good horror movie - it doesn't matter how many comedy horror films there have been before. Doesn't matter how much you think it's going to be funny. A good horror movie will scare the hell out of you... the moment you sit down and you start being exposed to that story, it's going to freeze your blood.
evil horror-fans evil-dead
There are the horror fans that love the 'Evil Dead' because of the humor, but I'm sure it's not all of them. Not all horror fans love 'Evil Dead' because of the humor, at least not me.
