If You Don’t Want To Be Scared

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'm From Boston, And In Boston, You Are Born With A Baseball Bat In Your Hand. And Actually, Most Of The Bats In Massachusetts Are Used Off The Field Instead Of On The Field, And We All Had Baseball Bats In Our Cars In High School.

The Best Movies Now Are Called 'thrillers.' Because If You Use The Word 'horror,' People's Associations Are Straight-to-video Crap.
