It's cool to play a vampire.
We need horror stories for people to focus on.
In one point of view, Gothic is not only the best, but the only rational architecture, as being that which can fit itself most easily to all services, vulgar or noble.
The praise of a civilized world is justly due to Christianity;—war, by the influence of the humane principles of that religion, has been stripped of half its horrors. The French renounce Christianity, and they relapse into barbarism;—war resumes the same hideous and savage form which it wore in the ages of Gothic and Roman violence.
Horror will always be there, it always comes back, it's a familiar genre that some people, not everyone - it's sort of the cinema anchovies. You either like it or you don't.
It makes you all look like Dracula's daughters!
We went all dark and grimy for 'Riverdale.'
If Mr. Vincent Price were to be co-starred with Miss Bette Davis in a story by Mr. Edgar Allan Poe directed by Mr. Roger Corman, it could not fully express the pent-up violence and depravity of a single day in the life of the average family.
Usually my form of turning someone down was shoving a stake through his heart while smirking, Gotcha!
I'm a really big fan of all things macabre in general; Halloween happens to be my favorite holiday.
I don't love horror, I respect it as a genre.
I think with vampires, you can't really go wrong. For generations, vampires have been a hit because they're unobtainable, mysterious, sensual, dangerous, kind of sexy.
But are they all horrid, are you sure they are all horrid? [Referring to Gothic novels, fashionable in England at the beginning of the 19th century, but frowned upon in polite society.]
I'd rather be with Dracula than the Wolfman.
Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!
With his long sharp nails he opened a vein in his breast. When the blood began to spurt out, he took my hands in one of his, holding them tight and with the other ceased my neck and pressed my mouth to the wound so that I must either suffocate or swallow... Some of the...Oh my god…my god What have I done?
Here is another marvy glimpse into the gothic basement that I call my mind.
I like to use horror as allegory.
I'm really kind of a vampire at heart.
I can't imagine making something that is made only to be scary. For me, the darkness and scary material has to have meaning attached to it, or I can't invest the time and energy it takes to write and script or make a movie. It has to mean something.
For horror movies, color is reassuring because, at least in older films, it adds to the fakey-ness.
The appeal of the spectrally macabre is generally narrow because it demands from the reader a certain degree of imagination and a capacity for detachment from everyday life.
I have a complicated relationship with the horror genre. I love it; I loved it as a kid growing up, and I watched Chiller Theater in New York. So I loved it, but then you do feel if you do it too much, you're stuck there.
I worked in pubs when I was younger. My nickname was Morticia.
Most buildings, whether they're Gothic cathedrals or Romanesque ones, were high tech for their time.
