fun liars zombie
I can't really make fun of zombies. They're not liars. They're not cheats.
enough bigs big-screen
When I was old enough to go to movies alone, I got to see 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' on the big screen. I just fell in love with them.
notebook fun silly
I keep a little notebook of things that I can do to the zombies that might be silly and fun.
bible letters satan
I've gotten letters, but mostly from Bible-belt types who say, you must be Satan! They come right out and call me Satan and hope that I'm damned to hell.
guy good-guy flaws
I like guys who are understandable and good guys who are flawed.
zombie easy neighbor
I go to conventions and universities and talk to young filmmakers and everybody's making a zombie movie! It's because it's easy to get the neighbors to come out, put some ketchup on them.
real class zombie
Zombies are the real lower-class citizens of the monster world and that's why l like them.
offering accepting offers
Collaborate, don't dictate. Every department head has something to offer. Listen and gratefully accept their offerings. They're moviemakers, too.
firsts world scared
The Thing from Another World' was the first movie that really scared me.
thinking objectivity years
There are so many factors when you think of your own films. You think of the people you worked on it with, and somehow forget the movie. You can't forgive the movie for a long time. It takes a few years to look at it with any objectivity and forgive its flaws.
school kids guy
For a Catholic kid in parochial school, the only way to survive the beatings - by classmates, not the nuns - was to be the funny guy.
wind creating tribes
Anybody who tunes into Rush Limabaugh already knows what he's going to say and is already inclined to agree. So it winds up creating tribes.
real
Nothings ever real until its real.
dc-comics guy stuff
I grew up on DC Comics, moral tales where the bad guys got their comeuppance. To me the gory panels or grotesque stuff just made me chuckle.
