Horror Films Don't Create Fear.

I Think The Important Thing About Staying Creative And Staying Sharp And Original Is Not To Look Back Too Much, And To Kind Of Look To Where Your Vision Is Going Now. But I Have Felt Over The Years A Definite Progression Or Arc From Feeling Guilty About What I Had Done With The First One, Because Certainly There Was All That Fundamentalist Guilt That Came Pouring Back In. Feeling Like I'd Done Something Horrible, "i'm A Despicable Person And I'm Perverse," And All These Things, To A Sense Of The Power And The Necessity, In A Sense, Of Horror Films And Dealing With Dark Material.

I Make Something I Can Look At And Say, "that's A Good Piece Of Work, And There's Some Terrific Directing And Acting In It, And You Should Be Proud Of It."

All Of Us Have Our Individual Curses, Something That We Are Uncomfortable With And Something That We Have To Deal With, Like Me Making Horror Films, Perhaps.

Many, Many Things Are Dangerous In Our World, Commercials And Tv Are Dangerous, And So Is The World Of Sitcoms. But Nobody Does Anything About Them Because They're Turning In Alot Of Money.

The First Monster That An Audience Has To Be Scared Of Is The Filmmaker. They Have To Feel In The Presence Of Someone Not Confined By The Normal Rules Of Propriety And Decency.
