There Are Two Different Stories In Horror: Internal And External. In External Horror Films, The Evil Comes From The Outside, The Other Tribe, This Thing In The Darkness That We Don't Understand. Internal Is The Human Heart.

When I Got Into The Movie Business, Working With Actors Was The One Thing I Was Really Weak At. I Didn't Know What To Say To Actors. They Scared Me And Intimidated Me. The Actors That I've Worked With Who Have Had A Lot Of Experience, Or Who I've Even Grown Up Watching As A Kid, Were Really Scary. I Was Like, "what Am I Going To Say To This Person?" But, I've Matured. It's Fun. I Understand What Actors Do Now.
