real class zombie
Zombies are the real lower-class citizens of the monster world and that's why l like them.
blood realistic the-waterfront
The most realistic blood I've seen is when Marlon Brando gets beat up in On The Waterfront.
real
Nothings ever real until its real.
real doors next
I've always felt that the real horror is next door to us, that the scariest monsters are our neighbors.
best films less million
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.
access information lunatic wants
What the Internet's value is that you have access to information but you also have access to every lunatic that's out there that wants to throw up a blog.
along american-director forgot godzilla humans wonderful
I thought Godzilla was a mess, the monster had no character and the humans didn't either. They forgot to make the movie that went along with all these wonderful effects.
amazing bitten gets guy helicopter incredible liked pilot until
I really liked the helicopter pilot in 'Dawn of the Dead', when he gets bitten and comes out of the elevator. That guy was amazing. He did this incredible walk that we didn't even know about until we started shooting.
bit express fact far genre great people satire side society talk
On the other side of that coin, and far outweighing it, is the fact that I've been able to use genre of Fantasy/Horror and express my opinion, talk a little about society, do a little bit of satire and that's been great, man. A lot of people don't have that platform.
certain code comic comics exposed grew horror nightmares north sort stuff
I grew up on the old EC comic books before the Comics Code in North American and with all sort of good-natured fun. I never had nightmares I think because all of the old horror stuff that I was exposed to was well meaning in a certain sense.
changed dead god people staying sure sympathize zombies
I sympathize with the zombies and am not even sure they are villains. To me they are this earth-changing thing. God or the devil changed the rules, and dead people are not staying dead.
finger humans pointing respect stories sympathize zombies
My stories are about humans and how they react, or fail to react, or react stupidly. I'm pointing the finger at us, not at the zombies. I try to respect and sympathize with the zombies as much as possible.
dreamed gags great
The two great things about computer CG stuff are I can now do gags I would never have dreamed of in the old day.

The guy that made me wanna make movies... and this is off the wall-is a guy named Michael Pal, the British director.
