For me, the sound design and the musical score is a big part of what makes scary movies work.
Personally, I'm a real wimp with scary movies. I get so scared.
The first movie I ever saw was a horror movie. It was Bambi. When that little deer gets caught in a forest fire, I was terrified, but I was also exhilarated.
I love when you go to a horror film with real horror fans and everybody's there watching, getting involved and screaming. That's when it's most alive and exciting for me.
When I was a little kid, I loved horror films. I always liked being scared.
I believe you can frighten people without showing their heads caved-in.
There are very few horror films that I think are worth their salt.
I don't personally like slasher movies that make you scream in the movie theater.
Everything about 'Avunu 2' will be many notches higher than its prequel. The sequel is scarier, and there'll be more thrills and chills. I myself felt it when I was shooting.
I don't like to see a scary image because it sticks in my mind. Which is maybe why I get hired to do the scary movies because I'm truly scared and upset.
I never, ever, wanna see 'The Conjuring' again - ever. I don't wanna see 'Annabelle' again.
Scaring someone's the hardest thing to do, and that's why most of these scary movies are not scary. They're sick, but not scary. There's a lot of sickness out there, of people who then sit there and watch it, which I think is absolutely dismaying.
There were just things in Disney movies that probably were too scary for kids.
One of the things is that you need to space out scary movies.
The thing about all good horror movies is that the fans expect a couple of inside jokes. Maybe I'm supposed to be saying how terrified I was while making it, but it was really fun.
'A Head Full of Ghosts' was my first full horror novel, and that felt like coming home as a writer.
In 'Scream,' there is very real drama that would be in almost any drama.
'Bhoot' is a hold-on-to-your-seats horror film, while 'Darna Manaa Hai' is a hold-on-to-your-popcorn horror film.
If I'm really honest, I'm not a huge fan of scary films.
There are a lot of horror films out there that are nasty, but what's nasty isn't necessarily scary.
Horror movies have never been my thing. I love psychological thrillers like 'The Exorcist', 'The Shining', even though they scare the living daylights out of me.
Scary movies, for me, I used to be insanely scared of.
This must be a real horrorshow film if you're so keen on my viddying it.
I don't want people to feel: "Why am I watching this? It's sick and sadistic." I want people to watch and think it's scary but they can't wait to see what happens next. I also wanted to make a movie that was watchable.
I feel like with the first 'Insidious' film we had a massive cache of stories and scares that we'd built up over the years. It was like a band, you know they say a band has forever to write their first album because no one cares.
