Horror does not interest me, and so I know little of its practicioners, old or current
William Peter Blatty
Image
Horror films don't create fear. They release it.
Wes Craven
Image
Horror allows you to do things as a composer than you're able to do in no other style of movie. The music has to be aggressive. You can't tiptoe around. It has to be incredibly focused dramatically - no time for second thoughts. It needs to generate a kneejerk reaction.
Christopher Young
Image
Horror films had died a little bit before Scream came around. That was one of the reasons I wrote it. I wanted to write something that wasn't being made right now and maybe sell if I come up with a new horror film. Because no one is watching those movies. Let's do it. That was my whole goal, and it paid off. I feel like it's never stopped.
Kevin D. Williamson

Horror movies are hard work. Why don't we make a horror workout?
Kevin Peter Hall
Image
Horror causes men to clench their fists, and in horror men join together.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
Horror movies, man, the blood entails so much time. And horror movies are not fun definitely not starting there as a director. Definitely not horror.
Corey Haim
Image
Horror films and genre films are interesting, because I always look for a deeper meaning or a deeper theme in the film.
Katee Sackhoff
Image
Horror and supernatural novels give you a lot of what you look for in a crime novel, just with a twist that was very fresh for me as a reader.
Michael Koryta
Image
Horror jolts me when I look at one of you and see a pair of beautiful eyes that make me think your mind might contain a world that could hold me as the bolts shake loose and fly from my frame.
Henry Rollins
Image
Horror fans are a particular breed. They analyze films with such detail and expertise that I am reminded of the Canadian literary critic Northrup Frye, who approached literature with similar archetypal analysis.
Roger Ebert
Image
Horror movies are always a solid dollar. But a movie about Groucho Marx is a gamble. These things just are. Doesn't matter who you are.
Rob Zombie
Image
Horror I appreciate is one of the few genres that can wind the audience up and make them pay attention. I kind of like that. It's one of the few genres that can be very manipulative.
Bruce Campbell
Image
Horror movies travel pretty well anyway. They're like action movies: People overseas can watch them and enjoy them, and they're not so culturally specific in terms of their references, and they can follow a good scary story.
Robert Englund
Image
Horror is one of the few genres - romance and comedy are the other two that come to mind - that's all emotion-driven. It's not a rational genre, like science fiction is. It's irrational by nature. And it is capable of exploring all aspects of human experience.
Stephen R. Bissette
Image
Horror movies are the best date movies. There's no wondering , 'When do I put my arm around her?'
Eli Roth
Image
Horror movie is a great date movie. For dates... maybe grab on to the guy. I just think people love a good scare.
Tara Reid
Image
Horror movies have never been my thing. I love psychological thrillers like The Exorcist, The Shining, even though they scare the living daylights out of me.
Emmanuelle Vaugier
Image
Horror is beyond the reach of psychology.
Theodor Adorno
Image
Horror, for me, is not defined by the thing that provokes ones fear, but the human being who has contact with it.
Andrew Pyper
Image
Horror has been a genre since the beginning of cinema, all the way back to the days of silent films. I don't think it will ever go away because it's so universal. Humor doesn't always travel to other countries, but horror does.
John Carpenter
Image
Horror, let's face it, is basically pretty dumb. You're writing about events that are preposterous, and the trick is to dress them up in language so compelling that the reader doesn't care.
T. E. D. Klein
Image
Horror is like a serpent always shedding its skin, always changing. And it will always come back. It can't be hidden away like the guilty secrets we try to keep in our subconscious.
Dario Argento
Image
Horror fiction shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion.
Clive Barker
