“In fact, The Fall of the House of Usher might be his strongest mash-up yet, synthesizing countless works by Edgar Allan Poe into a funny, nasty present-day fable.”— Ben Rosenstock, vulture.com
“Various forms of mind control exist. Some, such as subliminal messaging, are more innocent than others. Subliminal messaging proves the power of influence, where a single hidden image can manipulate the audience’s behaviors and actions.”— Kasey Rae, creepycatalog.com
“From Phantom of the Opera (1925) to Rebecca (1940) to Blood and Roses (1960) to The Others (2001)—this is the only list you’ll need to satisfy all of your gothic horror appetites!”— Natalia Vela, Creepy Catalog, creepycatalog.com

“The way he filmed bodies and the themes he tackles — with mortality and the human condition, and identity as well — are themes that I have always been interested in and that I treat in my own work I think as a filmmaker ‘Dead Ringers’ would be my favorite one because for me it’s like his opera. It i…”— Julia Ducournau, indiewire.com
“My feeling of the whole genre, of the terror tale, is this: The best thing that you can do for the readers in this field is to terrify them. That's a head reaction. It is something that is intellectual, it happens in your mind. It is the sort of effect that Edgar Allen Poe gets in his story, The Tel…”— Stephen King, web.archive.org
“Scaring people, especially in our day and time, is one of the hardest things on earth, as far as I am concerned. You and I and everyone else in this world live in what is probably the most difficult times that have ever been. We are facing total thermonuclear destruction; and, if you can make someon…”— Stephen King, web.archive.org
“I like to think that good people win. But even good people have other sides. Most people will slow down to get a good look at an accident, even though they won't admit it. I think most of us are fascinated by the macabre and by the weird and even the nastiness that comes along.”— Stephen King, web.archive.org
“I was still in college when Night Of The Living Dead came out, and when I went to see it the first time, I went in the afternoon. The place was full of kids, mostly from five to eleven. I have never in my life, from the time I was a kid until now, been in an audience where children were so quiet. Th…”— Stephen King, web.archive.org
“As far as where I go when I die, the concept that I am simple going to flick out, like a light bulb, to me is not only spiritually impossible to believe, but logically it is laughable -- the idea that we simply die and nothing happens. Now, as to what does go on, that is something else. I am religio…”— Stephen King, web.archive.org
“I am interested in it and I think now in the latter half of the twentieth century we have enough documentation so that anyone that doubts the psychic experience is an actual empiric reality is on the level with a person who continues to smoke two or three packs of cigarettes a day and denies that th…”— Stephen King, web.archive.org
“I would NOT participate in one under any circumstances. Not even if my wife died and a medium said she had a message from my wife. I cannot conceive of circumstances under which I would participate in that sort of thing or stay overnight in a house that was reputed to be haunted or any of those thin…”— Stephen King, web.archive.org
“I get most of my good ideas after the sun has gone down and the dark is on the land.”— Stephen King, web.archive.org
“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 goblin…”— Stephen King, web.archive.org
“All horror is political, whether the creators want it to be or not. Before you head straight to the comments with your list of apolitical horror films, let me define my terms. By “political,” I don’t necessarily Republican or Democrat (although it can certainly be that). Rather, I mean political in…”— Joseph George, bloody-disgusting.com
“Can something that empowers the player this much still be a horror game?”— Suriel Vazquez , polygon.com
“It's not a neat orderly process to take blank pages and fill them with characters and stories. It's just a big fat mess every time and you have to embrace that. I think for most people, they're used to seeing only the end product -- a clean neat script where every set up has a pay off. But when you'…”— Christopher Ford, longlivethevoid.com
“These cycles of violence keep happening, and they’re like warning signs that we ignore. That’s why I was fascinated with books on genocide, and how this stuff keeps happening. It’s my biggest fear. It terrifies me, so I’m fascinated by it.”— Trey Edward Shults, theverge.com
