If you were around when 'Them!' or 'Tarantula' came out, those effects were as good as you had ever seen.
Arachnophobia' was one of the first films I did major effects for.
We cannot turn our back and say that violence in films or anything that we do doesn't have a sort of influence. It does.
I don't think his life has been in any way disfigured by the film. The film did disclose some difficult facts.
I really believe that you could do horror very inexpensively. I don't think it has anything to do with the effects, the effects are not the most important parts.
Asylum was good exposure for me and it is still shown quite often on television. I remember the special effects people had fun making a little doll that looked like me - which is not so easy - and it had to move along the floor.
When you're doing a film that has so many effects, you do a lot of it on green screen, and you can't see what that world is.

Films do have a very big impact on the youth, but the youth do have the quality to differentiate what is right and what is wrong!
I'm not a big guy anyway. I'm only, what, 150 pounds? I was 190 for 'Batman,' 179 for 'Warrior.' Films make you look big.
For eight years I did effects for other movies until I got my movie made.
