Like many of you, I've always been slightly obsessed with vampires, dating back to the prime-time series 'Dark Shadows,' which I followed avidly as a kid.

I think it would be fun to write about movies again.

There's no question that Whale's movies are classics. They were wonderful, and successful.

Actually, I loved Chucky. It's one of the strangest movies I've ever seen.

I had a couple of movies that I was passionately involved with that I could never get made. 'Richard Pryor,' I wrote for - gosh - over a year. That was close to getting made for two-and-a-half years after that. We're still pushing it, you know. It is weird. Suddenly you wake up and it's like, 'God, five years have gone by.'

No, 'F/X 2' was a job. I enjoyed doing it but that was definitely a job. I wrote that, I didn't direct it but 'Candyman' and the earlier horror movies I made, I was completely into horror and suspense and always have been. It's informed everything I've done, even the way scenes are shot in 'Kinsey and 'Gods and Monsters.'

Kinsey was trying to study sex scientifically, get rid of the overlay of culture and religion.

But the imposition of morality onto science, - where it does not belong - has become rampant in recent years.
