I Have A Strong Art-history Background.

I've Always Wanted To Be Involved In An Exorcism Movie. But I Thought, "how Do You Make Something Scarier Than The Exorcist?" The Answer Is You Don't. But That Doesn't Mean You Can't Make Something That Is Original And Interesting.

I Think That Horror Films Have A Very Direct Relationship To The Time In Which They're Made. The Films That Really Strike A Film With The Public Are Very Often Reflecting Something That Everyone, Consciously Or Unconsciously Feeling - Atomic Age, Post 9-11, Post Iraq War; It's Hard To Predict What People Are Going To Be Afraid Of.

I Love Movies That Are Just Straight-up Exploitation, But The Ones That Endure And The Ones That Last Are The Ones Where The Filmmakers Put In That Extra Level Of Thought; After 25 Years You Put Them On In Front Of An Audience, And They'll Respond To It And Enjoy It.

I Think In The Late '80s And Early '90s Horror Was Dead.

One Of The Great Elements Of The Supernatural Is Having That Mystery And Letting People's Imaginations Run Wild With It.
