The monsters are a little silly because they had no money, so obviously they can't show them for very long, ... But the film itself is a romp; a very bloody, goofy, scary one.
My whole family still lives there, ... I mean, where is Cleveland anymore? They're in Cleveland Heights, Burton, Willoughby, places like that. Mostly all over the eastern suburbs.
I love the fact that a lot of my audience is people from the inner city. African-Americans love my films.
I came from a very strict background. [So if you want to make a scary movie] if you were raised as a fundamentalist, just pull all the skeletons out of your closet.
We have a romantic comedy, a road picture and a period piece that I've developed over the years, ... Now we're just putting them out there for consideration (by investors).
