“Drama is life with the dull bits left out. There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it. I believe in putting the horror in the minds of the audience, and not necessarily on the screen. The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.” ShouldMindBelieveHumansFilmLeftI BelieveBitsAudienceDramaHorrorHollywoodTerrorI Believe InScreensRelatedDullLengthEnduranceAnticipationBangsLeft OutBladder Author:Alfred Hitchcock
“I well recall my horror when I heard for the first time, of a journalist who had laid in a pair of what were then called bicycle pants and taken to golf; it was as if I had encountered a studhorse with his hair done up in frizzes, and pink bowknots peeking out of them. It seemed, in some vague way, ignominious, and even a bit indelicate.” IfsWayFirstsWellsDoneBitsTakenHeardHairHorrorFirst TimeGolfJournalismJournalistPairsPantsRecallsVagueBicyclePeeking Author:H. L.

“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.” PeopleWayFeelsLittlesRealHandsKidsAmericaPoliticalGuyBitsHorrorLittle BitMonstersRelatedPlusMotivatedOutsidersDiscourseSentimentalObsessivePolitical SystemsParanoidPlightFear Mongering Author:Larry Fessenden
“Only comedies can get you that engaged in a movie, dramas people just sort of sit there and eat their popcorn and nothing really happens, they might cry a little bit, but that's it. Horror movies are talking at the screen, guys are elbowing each other, laughing at each other because they got scared. That's the beauty of a horror movie.” PeopleLittlesMightHappensGuyBitsTalkingLaughingComedyCryDramaHorrorLittle BitScaredScreensEngagedPopcorn Author:Bruce Campbell

“I have always felt a little bit uncomfortable with question [why I'm write these stories]. It's not a question that you would ask a guy that writes detective stories or the guy that writes mystery stories, or westerns, or whatever. But it is asked of the writer of horror stories because it seems that there is something nasty about our love for horror stories, or boogies, ghosts and goblins, demons and devils.” WritingLittlesStoriesSeemsGuyAsksFeltBitsMysteryHorrorLittle BitDevilGhostUncomfortableDemonNastyOur LoveDetectivesHorror StoriesGoblinDetective StoriesBoogie Author:Stephen King
