Macabre Quotes

• A veces soy un coleccionista de datos, y sólo un coleccionista, y es probable que sea bruto y avaro, amontonando notas, complacido con la mera adición numérica a mis almacenes. Otras veces tengo alegrías, cuando inesperadamente me encuentro con una historia escandalosa que puede no ser del todo mentira, o con una cosita macabra que puede volver loco a algún crítico de mis obras más o menos buenas. Pero siempre está presente un sentimiento de relaciones inexplicables de eventos que noto, y es esta lejana, inquietante, o a menudo burlona, conciencia o sospecha, lo que me mantiene acumulando.

• El atractivo de lo espectralmente macabro es generalmente reducido porque exige del lector un cierto grado de imaginación y una capacidad de distanciamiento de la vida cotidiana. Relativamente pocos son lo suficientemente libres del hechizo de la rutina diaria como para responder a los raptos del exterior, y los relatos de sentimientos y sucesos ordinarios, o de distorsiones sentimentales comunes de tales sentimientos y sucesos, siempre ocuparán el primer lugar en el gusto de la mayoría; con razón, tal vez, ya que, por supuesto, estos asuntos ordinarios constituyen la mayor parte de la experiencia humana.

• Intento compensar cualquier tendencia a lo macabro con humor. En mi opinión, se trata de una forma de humor típicamente inglesa. Es una pieza con chistes como el del hombre que era conducido a la horca para ser ahorcado. Miró la trampilla de la horca, que era de construcción endeble, y preguntó alarmado: "Digo yo, ¿es segura esa cosa?

• Still, I look down, and the grass is so green, I cannot understand how it does not wither and die with sorrow. But against the emerald carpet, the warriors make war, and it is like a dance, almost beautiful, always macabre. The noise brings me back, the fearsome noise of swords striking swords, a metallic clanging that rings in my ears, echoing and echoing the fearsome din of men screaming and crying as they meet the sharp ends of blades.

• People look at me as if I were some sort of monster, but I can't think why. In my macabre pictures, I have either been a monster-maker or a monster-destroyer, but never a monster. Actually, I'm a gentle fellow. Never harmed a fly. I love animals, and when I'm in the country I'm a keen bird-watcher.

• Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.

• I don't really think I am interested in the macabre, but I am curious about death. That's normal... The only certainty in life is that we're all going to die. It would be unnatural not to think about death once in a while.

• What I like about the Carpenter take on The Thing is the fact that it just has so much suspense. It seemed like a different story, with the horror elements. Those films that really speak to the primal fear that we, as human beings, have about the unknown have always intrigued me. That's the really scary thing, not the slasher, macabre movies.
