When I Go See An R-rated Horror

Much Of My Youth Was Spent In The Parking Lot Or Inside A Dunkin' Donuts.

You'd Be Lucky To Get Tortured To Death In One Of My Films. It's The Best Thing That Could Happen To Your Career. But I'm Very Aware That As Soon As You Put Women In This Situation, All Of A Sudden People Are Like: "wow, Well Wait A Second!" Immediately, People Become Very Sensitive To It.

Dawn Of The Dead Is About How We're Just A Country Cannibalizing Itself, Turning Into One Shopping Mall, And Everyone At The Mall Is Just Brain-dead, Wandering Around. Capitalism Gone Awry, And The Worst Parts Of Human Nature Coming Out. All These Different Things That People Read Into The Films That Are All There, Very Strong Anti-bush Sentiments That Went Into Making Those Films. It's Great. I Like It When People Get It The Second Or Third Time, When Someone Else Points It Out To Them. They Don't Realize It's Been There All Along. Those Are My Favorite Movies.

I Think In A Post-9/11 World, With The Images Coming Back From Iraq, Everybody Knows More And More People Who Are Going Over There... The Images On The Youtube Phenomenon Where The Violence Is So Immediate. Direct People Need Something Stronger To Respond To. I Think That There's Definitely A Wave Of Directors - Who Are Labelled The Splat Pack - Who Really, Really Care About Making Great Scary Movies.

One Of The Great Joys Of Life, Now That You Can Afford A Nice Suit, Is Getting One For Free. That's Why I Like To Do Press Tours - I Always Say Making Movies Is Just An Excuse To Get Free Clothing.
