It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.

The one negative to horror is that it's always law of diminishing returns. When you go in the funhouse, the ride is never scary the second time. You will never have that pure experience as when you first watch it.

I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.

Believe it or not, but I was a camp councilor for three years. I love kids.

A comedy can actually get funnier and funnier. Even though you know the joke, you enjoy it so much, it's the facial expression, you laugh. The laugh doesn't wear off. It could be with you for thirty years.

Movie stars need to retain some of that mystique if you are a big movie star.

I like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.

I think in life we get very caught up in the minutia and, unfortunately, it generally takes some sort of tragedy in your life to put things in perspective.

The point of the first one was that it was about guys being lured by sex and the stereotypes... I always say it's like a horror version of Borat. Borat's not an accurate depiction of Khazakstan, it's an accurate depiction of America. That's what Hostel is.

As a kid, my idols were Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson, and I get into crazy races with myself. Raimi was 21 when he made movies, and when I didn't get 'Cabin Fever' made that fast I thought I'd failed.

I get a little too obsessive with work.

I never put out a vanilla edition of a DVD.

Natural disasters are terrifying - that loss of control, this feeling that something is just going to randomly end your life for absolutely no reason is terrifying. But, what scares me is the human reaction to it and how people behave when the rules of civility and society are obliterated.

People want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.

Even post-WWII, nobody talked about the Holocaust. It wasn't until the '50s that people started talking about it.

All the copycat movies were always PG-13 and people said: Nobody wants violence.

Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.
Eli Roth

I love movies that are just straight-up exploitation, but the ones that endure and the ones that last are the ones where the filmmakers put in that extra level of thought after 25 years you put them on in front of an audience, and they'll respond to it and enjoy it.

'Troll 2' is one of the rare sequels where you don't have to waste time watching the first one, since the films have absolutely nothing to do with one another.

Much of my youth was spent in the parking lot or inside a Dunkin' Donuts.
