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.

More quotes by George A. Romero
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.
George A. Romero
I'm like my zombies. I won't stay dead!
George A. Romero
My zombies will never take over the world because I need the humans. The humans are the ones I dislike the most, and they're where the trouble really lies.
George A. Romero
Zombies are the real lower-class citizens of the monster world and that's why l like them.
George A. Romero
You can fall on your face easily if you go off in a certain direction. The Birds is a good example, some people are really phobic about birds flying over their heads, and some don't care. So, it's a personal thing.
George A. Romero
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.
George A. Romero
As great as Ed is, the wisdom out here is that he can't carry a movie. They'll pay him $3 million to be the second banana in Julia Roberts things. But they won't put up $3 million for an Ed Harris movie.
George A. Romero
My opinion of a good zombie walk is to loll your head as if it's a little too heavy and the muscles have begun to atrophy.
George A. Romero
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.
George A. Romero
I can't really make fun of zombies. They're not liars. They're not cheats.
George A. Romero
I expect a zombie to show up on Sesame Street soon, teaching kids to count.
George A. Romero
It would be very hard to write a serious drama and say some of these things. You can be much more abstract and allusive with horror, and it's very forgiving to the author. You don't necessarily have to take an absolutely positive position. You can just write whatever.
George A. Romero
I don't want a zombie society. I don't want to go that far.
George A. Romero
Everybody knows the rules, even though some break those rules.
George A. Romero
Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller', I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.
George A. Romero
Hollywood doesn't trust me, and we don't really mix. When a movie has stars, everything in the budget goes up, even the catering costs. I just don't like the process of having Suits all around, so I prefer casting unknowns. It adds another level of tension - you don't quite know what to expect from them. My movies don't even need that much money.
George A. Romero
Nothings ever real until its real.
George A. Romero
I don't think you need to spend $40 million to be creepy. The best horror films are the ones that are much less endowed.
George A. Romero
I'll never get sick of zombies. I just get sick of producers.
George A. Romero
I really believe that you could do horror very inexpensively. I don't think it has anything to do with the effects, the effects are not the most important parts.
George A. Romero
