| 1 | [on horror films] Horror is a great medium. If it's done with skill and forcefulness, it's as good as film gets. It represents denied or disowned or unacknowledged darkness. That's where nightmares come out, that's where monsters are born. It's fabulous to touch things subliminally in the subconscious, things that have always been there. In a funny way, it's like American sports. If we didn't have people out there spitting their lungs out at football and hockey games, we would have a psychopathic society. It releases a lot of pent-up emotions, all kinds of feelings, and it puts people in touch with things they weren't aware of themselves. |
| 2 | "It's Alive" was different from other monster stories in one way. With Dr. Frankenstein and all the versions of that character, you never have a reconciliation between the monster and the monster-maker. In "It's Alive," not only does he who made the monster spare it, but he owns up to creating it and they reconcile. |
