Possession and exorcism is something that’s in every religion and every culture. It’s a real primal fear: Is the body a vessel for our spirits? What happens if something else takes over it? Where does the spirit go?

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

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

I've realized that I can't multitask in the writing department I can only kind of do one thing at a time.

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 think in the late '80s and early '90s horror was dead.

When I go see an R-rated horror movie, I want lots of violence.
