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

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?

Horror movies in a sense are about the things that you cannot control, cannot define and the things that you are afraid of, and that is what the boogey man is. The boogey man doesn’t have a backstory, he is just the thing you fear and I think it is important to celebrate that aspect of horror.

I always loved horror as a kid. On the one hand, I really love monsters, because in a way I feel like I related to their outsider status and like the sentimental romantic plight of the monster. More importantly though I feel like people are completely motivated by fear, especially with our political system here in America which is just degenerating into more and more fear mongering and it gets in the way of real discourse, plus it’s just something I’m obsessive about and have always been a little bit of a paranoid guy.

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.

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.

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.

Way

I love filmmaking when fate is a part of the process and you are dependent on the laws of physics and the elements to get a single moment that transports or in some way creates an illusion even for a moment. I think that is tremendous fun and what I think filmmaking is, catching lightning in a bottle.

Fate

I may love individual people, but I am contemptuous of the arrogance , and in a way, it’s both ruined me and fuels me. It’s ruined me because nobody cares about these issues, and then it’s the source of most of my storytelling now, because I am so preoccupied with it. It fuels me, because this is my outrage. I do believe in that great tradition of literature and storytelling. You know, the downfall and the folly of it all.

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.
