I like stuff like 'Top Gun.' I like horror films. I love them.
I have a really embarrassing reaction to horror films. I break out in a fever.
Horror films don't create fear. They release it.
The Shining' is one of the few horror movies that I actually like and it actually scared me.
People used to always complain that horror films have no stories, that it's all just about kills and stuff like that.
That's also why comedy and horror are my two favorite genres of film to write, because you get these outbursts of emotion from people, laughter and shock, and it's really thrilling, and I like to be thrilled.
I love scary movies, but I'd never really even seen The Vampire Diaries, up until I met [Kevin Williamson].
I grew up loving horror films. But I had to step away since I didn't want all that negative stuff in my psyche. I didn't want to conceptualize those thoughts into my life.
I think the violence in 'The Hills Have Eyes' and 'High Tension' is much more traumatic than 'Piranha.'
Personally, I'm a real wimp with scary movies. I get so scared.
I love scary movies. I like blood and gore, and I love Halloween movies.
I do know that I've read somewhere that it's been statistically proven that in times of war, horror films are much more popular. I don't know why that is. You'd think it'd be the opposite. You'd think people would want to escape from it.
For the last 30 years our cinemas have been ruled by science fiction and horror. We've had some very good Fantasy films in that time period, but for my tastes I still haven't seen fantasy done to absolute perfection. That is the hope I have in this project.
Poor decisions and bad luck are contingencies of most horror films.
I think scary movies work best when they're relatable, and I think one of the scariest things to young people now is bullying. Either doing it, being on the other end of it, being caught doing it.
'The Shining,' 'A Nightmare on Elm Street,' 'Halloween.' Those are the greats.
My knowledge of horror films is pathetic because I can't really watch them.
You need to be invested in what happens. The characters are your conduit to the story. Many modern horror films are fun but not frightening because one has not connected with the characters.
I think people would be most surprised to know that I love scary movies.
I was born in 1950 and watched science fiction and horror movies on TV and was always really fascinated by them.
When you're talking about who is doing the most exciting and interesting horror films of the last 20 years, it's Japan. I mean, they are making amazing films.
I wouldn't be a part of anything that had acts of violence toward children. I don't think I would do a horror film, either. That just doesn't sit well on my soul.
I tend to fall more into the fun horror genre than the traumatic horror genre. I love the films where you're laughing as much as screaming, but that doesn't mean I don't like the other ones.
My parents were huge fans of westerns, European cinema, and horror in particular. They wouldn't just show me kids' films.
I don't think you need to spend $40 million to be creepy. The best horror films are the ones that are much less endowed.
