ideas different lucky
As a filmmaker, I love the medium. I have a great affection for it and I've been lucky enough to do all different kinds of films. The greatest part of the success I've had comes from horror. I love the idea of mixing humor and horror and to me, it's all a giggle.
halloween blue ideas
I also have always liked the monster within idea. I like the zombies being us. Zombies are the blue-collar monsters.
zombie littles opinion
My opinion of a good zombie walk is to loll your head as if it's a little too heavy and the muscles have begun to atrophy.
doe peculiar care
My stuff is my stuff. I do it for my own reasons, using my own peculiar set of guidelines. I'm not a student of the genre. I don't care what anybody else does.
zombie want
I don't want a zombie society. I don't want to go that far.
scary zombie earth
When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth.
zombie next revolution
I always thought of the zombies as being about revolution, one generation consuming the next.
break knows
Everybody knows the rules, even though some break those rules.
sick zombie producers
I'll never get sick of zombies. I just get sick of producers.
actors doe genre
As a filmmaker you get typecast just as much as an actor does, so I'm trapped in a genre that I love, but I'm trapped in it!
drama writing forgiving
It would be very hard to write a serious drama and say some of these things. You can be much more abstract and allusive with horror, and it's very forgiving to the author. You don't necessarily have to take an absolutely positive position. You can just write whatever.
moving eye thinking
Zombies are always moving fast in video games. It makes sense if you think about it. Those games are all about hand-eye coordination and how quickly can you get them before they get you.
rip years jeans
It is amazing to me how deeply into the popular culture the creature has become. There are zombie walks in every major city. I live in Toronto, and last year 3,000 people came out dressed as zombies.... I do not get it. Maybe it's an easy costume: Splash some ketchup on and rip up your jeans -- although most people already have torn jeans -- and you're done.
blue zombie monsters
Zombies are the blue-collar monsters
