I use myself as the barometer to gauge what is scary.

I use myself as the barometer to gauge what is scary. I like to think if something scares me, then there's a very good chance an audience will feel the same way.

'The Exorcist' is one of the finest movies ever made, and it just so happens to be a scary movie.

I've always said if I had to pinpoint what's more important in a scary movie, the soundscape or the visuals, I'd pick the sound.

If you care about the characters, then whatever scary thing happens to them, you feel it even more.

For me, the sound design and the musical score is a big part of what makes scary movies work.
