(Quotes from SSNInsider.com – 10 Great Quotes from Horror Directors)


The safest genre is the horror film. But the most unsafe “ the most dangerous” is comedy. Because even if your horror film isn’t very good, you’ll get a few screams and you’re okay. With a comedy, if they don’t laugh, you’re dead.

Roger Corman

“There is no terror in the bang, only the anticipation of it.”
Alfred Hitchcock

“I also have always liked the monster within idea. I like the zombies being us. Zombies are the blue-collar monsters.
George A. Romero
