No 'F/X 2' was a job. I enjoyed doing it but that was definitely a job. I wrote that I didn't direct it but 'Candyman' and the earlier horror movies I made I was completely into horror and suspense and always have been. It's informed everything I've done even the way scenes are shot in 'Kinsey and 'Gods and Monsters.'

At the time I came along Hollywood's idea of teen movies meant there had to be a lot of nudity usually involving boys in pursuit of sex and pretty gross overall. Either that or a horror movie. And the last thing Hollywood wanted in their teen movies was teenagers!

When I was a kid I had two great guilty pleasures. One was horror movies and the other was martial arts movies.

As a kid I liked the 'Halloween' movies and 'Nightmare On Elm Street' and all that kind of stuff. But as an adult I really don't watch much horror to be honest.

I'm terrible at horror movies by the way. I get scared so easily.

I am so happy because I want more people to like martial arts movie not just martial arts audience. Even martial arts can be used in comedy in drama in horror movies in different kinds of movies.

I think there's an instinct to make grotesque horror films that are purely carnal like the 'Saw' movies.

I've seen little pieces of 'Interview with a Vampire' when it was on TV but I kind of always go yuck! I don't watch R-rated movies so that really cuts down on a lot of the horror.

For horror movies color is reassuring because at least in older films it adds to the fakey-ness.

I like making sci-fi movies because I like watching sci-fi movies. I like watching horror. I like being in a horror movie. I'm a fan. My perspective's a little different just because I get to participate as well as spectate.

I loved Alien and I loved Carrie and I loved The Exorcist - those were big movies for me. They were just brilliantly done and unusual and they all took horror to some new place.

I'm into 'The Walking Dead ' 'Shaun of the Dead ' obviously and I've seen all the Romero movies. I am a classic zombie queen. And I love the White Walkers on 'Game of Thrones.' Weirdly it wasn't until pretty late in life that I found my entry point into horror films.

My interest in film is sort of catholic - apart from science fiction and horror movies I'll watch almost everything.

De Niro was a hero of mine. And Sean Penn. But I've realized I can't operate at that level of intensity. That's okay for movies. On TV when you live with horror day in and day out you have to protect yourself.

I like fantasy. I like horror science fiction because I can get avant-garde with those performances in those movies.

I'm an enormous admirer of Christopher Lee. He's somebody along with Vincent Price who I celebrate and I wanted my movies to show that celebration and that honoring of these great film stars that were unafraid to go into horror and Grand Guignol and the macabre.

I'll probably pursue doing more movies but not horror or movies with killers in them. I'll try to stick to happy movies. I want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she went to college and she's still doing the same thing.

I like all of the mental psychological thriller movies too. I enjoy horror movies across the board.

I love horror I love scary movies I love thrillers. If things creep you out and spook you? I love it.

I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning.

So the news that divorced fathers are to be denied a legal right to a relationship with their children in the long overdue review of family law published this week fills me with horror and despair.

The current leadership of the Labor party react to the idea that working-class students might study the subjects they studied with the same horror that the Earl of Grantham showed when a chauffeur wanted to marry his daughter.

I definitely gravitate towards quality genre projects and genre of any kind whether it's science fiction horror or really anything. I'm just drawn to quality. I don't think 'Darkness Falls' is horror there isn't any gore by any stretch of the imagination.

It's a great excuse and luxury having a job and blaming it for your inability to do your own art. When you don't have to work you are left with the horror of facing your own lack of imagination and your own emptiness. A devastating possibility when finally time is your own.
