What I tried to do is deliver movies that have worked for me more than once.
Clive Barker
Image
Flesh could not keep its glamour, nor eyes their sheen. They would go to nothing soon. But monsters are forever.

Give me B movies or give me death!

Your flesh is killing your spirit. You have forsaken yourself.

Let the mad find wisdom in their madness for the sane, and let the sane be grateful.

Well, it was most likely too late there would not be time for me to flagellate myself for every dishonorable deed in that list, nor any chance to make good the harms I’d done. Minor harms, to be sure, in the scheme of things but large enough to regret.

A man kills the thing he loves, and he must die a little himself.

Darkness always had its part to play. Without it, how would we know when we walked in the light? It’s only when its ambitions become too grandiose that it must be opposed, disciplined, sometimes—if necessary—brought down for a time. Then it will rise again, as it must.

One man's pornography is another man's theology.
Clive Barker
Image
Perhaps a wiser eye than hers would be able to read tomorrow in tonight's stars, but where was the fun in that? It was better not to know. Better to be alive in the Here and the Now--in this bright, laughing moment--and let the Hours to come take care of themselves.
Clive Barker
Image
I've dealt with a lot of producers who were pricks and I'm determined not to be that.
Clive Barker
Image
So we make stories of our own, in fevered and envious imitation of our Maker, hoping that we'll tell, by chance, what God left untold. And finishing our tale, come to understand why we were born.
Clive Barker
Image
Maybe the man had taken the wrong turning, but at least he'd travelled some extraordinary roads.
Clive Barker

But I think humans are innately religious as a species, so you don't need a specific excuse for examining the perversely unholy.
