In my films quite often, paranoia usually leads to the truth so it is kind of a psychological state of mind to think that what you fear may come true, and those are the types of stories that I like to tell.

More quotes by Larry Fessenden
The unknown is the most frightening and mysterious thing, especially in the modern world where we can practically Google anything and find out the back story. I think to have that element of mystery it almost creates a frustration that is closer to real life.

I'm an old school guy and love the guys in the monster suits and JAWS even though everyone makes fun of the shark I think it's awesome. You know it's fake, but with my generation that was part of the charm.

I feel very strongly that a film isn't just a story, but the WAY that a story is told. It's why I am such a great fan of Hitchcock because it really is all in the filmmaking.

We all seek comfort, and I don't pretend to want to live in squalor.

There are scripts that have come our way that are much more likely to be hits, but we don't really think that way.

Glenn and I were listening to a radio show in the car, and he said, Glass Eye Pix should do radio plays. I loved the idea of working in a different medium. We've made comics, books, movies, video games, models, advent calendars, why wouldn't we try audio plays?

I came to love the rhythm of the sound effects and the whole experience of listening to a story. I made a lot of stuff with my hands and so I loved being free to not watch a screen. I still love it to this day.

The nature will continue, it's our existence that is finite and you are given this gift of life and you make your way with it, but fate and natural disasters will continue on.

The biggest difference for me is that the tales really have no logical outlet, no particular infrastructure in which to present them as you would have with a film festival. There's no IMDb for audio dramas. So there's a lot of work with no particular reward.

I really think in life there is a lot of mystery and things we just can’t understand and your brain has to adapt... We all have to deal with the twists of fate whether they are explained or not and it’s how you react in life to these curveballs that is really the measure of a man.

The whole film business was built on immigrants: Billy Wilder and Michael Curtiz and all these hefty lads.

The worst thing that could happen to a filmmaker is growing up wanting to be a filmmaker.

I feel like we are so used to CGI [computer-generated imagery] and thank god because it is a wonderful tool, but there is an element of everything you are looking at has been created in the comfort of a studio. I want to return to a world where I can celebrate when you are really interacting with the world.

It's always different, depending on the writer and the director. A collaborator like Graham Reznick delivers a fully finished piece, perfected in every way. Other writers direct the recording session and then leave quite a bit of the work to us.
Larry Fessenden
When so much is left to the listener's imagination, it is bound to be more scary. But our stories are not just to frighten they are engaged with the things that are really scary like loneliness and madness.

Digging up graves is backbreaking work. So I just like that the genre of horror can embrace so many different styles and textures.
