John Carpenter Quotes About Horror Movies

1. John Carpenter Quotes About Horror Movies

3. Though he’s made a variety of movies—from fantasy to science fiction films—John Carpenter will forever be known as a master of horror, and to celebrate, here the Vidicus review team have gathered up some of his most memorable quotes about Hollywood. “Horror is a reaction; it's not a genre.” —From a 2015 interview with Interview Magazine “I think the rules of filmmaking are essentially the same as they were since, I guess, The Birth Of A Nation. The way you make movies: long shot, close-up, camera movement, structure—it’s all the same. Not much has changed. But the technology of movies has vastly changed. From 35mm black-and-white to color, from nitrate film to safety film and now into digital—and yet we’re still breaking scenes into master shots and close-ups. The cinema narrative has not changed that much since the silent film.” —From a 2015 interview with The A.V. Club “There are two different stories in horror: internal and external. In external horror films, the evil comes from the outside, the other tribe, this thing in the darkness that we don’t understand. Internal is the human heart.” —From a 2011 interview with Vulture “One movie that showed me it was possible to make a low-budget horror movie was Night of the Living Dead (1968). When I saw that, I was like, 'Wow, that's really effective, but it's obviously low budget.' They didn't have any money but they actually made something cool. That was inspirational to me when I was in film school.” —From a 2015 interview with Interview Magazine

5. “Film buffs who don't live in Hollywood have a fantasy about what it's like to be a director. Movies and the people who make movies have such glamor associated with them. But the truth is, it's not like that. It's very different. It's hard work. If you were suddenly catapulted into that situation—without any training—you would say after it was over: 'Oh, God! You're kidding! You mean, this is what it's like? This is what they put you through?' Yes, as a matter of fact, it is like this—and it's often worse. People have tried to describe the film business, but it's impossible to describe because it's so crazy. You must know your craft inside out and then pick up the rules as you go along.” —From an essay for Santa Fe Studios For plenty more horror content, head over to Vidicus today.
