I think the hardest part about making a scary film is about being able to retain the mystery, especially when it comes to supernatural stuff.
If we're going to be considered horror filmmakers, we have to prove it not only to ourselves but to the audience that we can actually make something scary.
I think it's scary that that our elected officials aren't operating under the principles of human rights, under the principles that this government and this country was founded on.
Those films that really speak to the primal fear that we, as human beings, have about the unknown have always intrigued me. That's the really scary thing, not the slasher, macabre movies. It's the ones that deal with the inner fear: the unknown realms and the mysticisms that are scary.
Courage and willingness to just go for it, whether it is a conversation or a spontaneous trip or trying new things that are scary - it is a really attractive quality.
