I like John Carpenter. I like some of his films more than others.

I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.

But I think we are seeing a resurgence of the graphic ghost story like The Others, Devil's Backbone and The Sixth Sense. It is a return to more gothic atmospheric ghost storytelling.

I started when I was eight, doing super 8 films.

They're getting more and more experience on what to expect, and the Hellboy audience is such a faithful and fanatic audience as I am, and you have to really be very open about what you do.

In that, Blade 2 is very much like a rock concert... if it's too loud, you're too old.
