“	I like the horror community because they're subversive. They question things. If something is held back from them, especially if they've heard that its good, they seek it out.	„
	— Michael Dougherty

“	Everyone has gone trick or treating, everyone carves a jack-o'-lantern with their parents. If you really look at the stories, they sort of focus on what Halloween is like at different stages of your life.	„
	— Michael Dougherty
