doe peculiar care
My stuff is my stuff. I do it for my own reasons, using my own peculiar set of guidelines. I'm not a student of the genre. I don't care what anybody else does.
Collaborate, don't dictate.
mean messages heavy
Just because I'm showing somebody being disemboweled doesn't mean that I have to get heavy and put a message behind it.
Movies are about escape.
scary zombie earth
When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth.
lying zombie world
My zombies will never take over the world because I need the humans. The humans are the ones I dislike the most, and they're where the trouble really lies.
zombie littles opinion
My opinion of a good zombie walk is to loll your head as if it's a little too heavy and the muscles have begun to atrophy.
halloween blue ideas
I also have always liked the monster within idea. I like the zombies being us. Zombies are the blue-collar monsters.
thinking creepy needs
I don't think you need to spend $40 million to be creepy. The best horror films are the ones that are much less endowed.
zombie next revolution
I always thought of the zombies as being about revolution, one generation consuming the next.
sick zombie producers
I'll never get sick of zombies. I just get sick of producers.
ideas different lucky
As a filmmaker, I love the medium. I have a great affection for it and I've been lucky enough to do all different kinds of films. The greatest part of the success I've had comes from horror. I love the idea of mixing humor and horror and to me, it's all a giggle.
real doors next
I've always felt that the real horror is next door to us, that the scariest monsters are our neighbors.
horror-genre film dies
If one horror film hits, everyone says, 'Let's go make a horror film.' It's the genre that never dies.
