When I read Doctor Sleep, when it was first published, I was so taken with getting to spend time with Danny Torrance again.

When horror is about something - capital-A about - that's when it's really landing.

I always tend to tilt dark on an ending, because I feel like, especially with horror movies, those are the endings that don't evaporate. Those are the ones that stick with you.

One of the things about horror movies that I've noticed with the children I've worked with is that they have a great time.

Well when I hear 'slasher' I think about the 80s.

Audiences are embracing more and more unique material. I think they can sense the cynicism when people are just cranking something out to try to ride off the success of something else. I think they can feel it.

Thanks to 'It,' you're going to see the studios take a lot more chances on a very specific vision. An R-rated horror film about children being eaten by a monster that lives in a sewer is not normally something that a studio would throw their weight behind. But we've seen the success of it, which props everyone up.

I always liked the challenge of that, how to take an inanimate object and build something around it that's scary.

I grew up in a very healthy nuclear family, and I was fortunate enough to not have to deal with loss and grief as a child.

A movie studio has to answer to a marketing department, and to shareholders, to ensure the broadest audience possible for its product; it tends to err on the side of caution as a result.
