“I love watching audiences scream. I imagine it's the same joy that a director feels who has made a comedy when he or she is sitting at the back of a theater listening to the audience laugh. That sound of laughter is so sweet to a comedy director and that's exactly how a horror film feels when you hear the audience scream.” FeelsMadeFilmJoySoundAudienceLaughingComedyImagineSweetListeningHorrorDirectorsLaughterSittingTheaterScreamHorror Film Author:Leigh Whannell

“One of my beliefs as a filmmaker is that if you can make somebody laugh, you can make them listen. With laughter, you can get somebody's guard down, you can open them up to listening to you. They don't feel like they're being preached to or talked down to. I think it helps, it makes really hard to understand information a little more accessible and palatable. And at the end of the day, it makes a movie a little more fun. It doesn't feel so heavy handed.” IfsThinkingFeelsLittlesEndsHardHelpingBeliefFunLaughingInformationListeningLaughterHeavyFilmmakerThe End Of The DayAnd At The End Of The Day Author:Morgan Spurlock
“You live through the play at 8 o'clock, straight through, and nobody can call "Cut!" But also with the stage you're getting instant reactions. You hear people snoring in the audience, and bored to tears, or sometimes you hear the laughter, and you can hear them listening.” PeopleSometimesAudienceCuttingTearsListeningLaughterBoredInstantSnoring Author:Chris Messina
