Halloween Put Me On The Map, And

In Halloween, I Viewed The Characters As Simply Normal Teenagers. Laurie, Jamie Lee's Character, Was Shy And Somewhat Repressed. And Michael Myers, The Killer, Is Definitely Repressed. They Have Certain Similarities.

As A Filmmaker, It's About Surviving And Lasting. So Many Talented People That I've Known In My Life - Directors And Writers - Just Haven't Made It And Haven't Had A Chance.

Horror Found Me. I Got Into The Movie Business To Make Westerns.

I Don't Want To Be A Part Of The Demographics. I Want To Be An Individual. I Wear Each Of My Films As A Badge Of Pride. That's Why I Cherish All My Bad Reviews. If The Critics Start Liking My Movies, Then I'm In Deep Trouble.

Horror Is Always The Same. It Changes With The Culture And Changes With Technology. The Stories Are Always The Same. There Are Just Two Basic Stories In Horror, Two Simple Ones -- Evil Is Outside And Evil Is In Here [points To His Heart].
