In the last couple decades there's been a few outstanding horror films that have made the grade and even pushed the envelope. But I can't get over the classics that I grew up with from the 70s and mostly from the 80s. I love the way old 80s film looks. There's something about it. The atmosphere that it creates. New films are so...clean, so sharp. They don't have the same effect at all.

If I was to make a horror film I would want it to have that look. That instant atmosphere.

It's funny because when I was a kid I used to criticize adults for always sticking to the music and movies that they grew up with and not appreciating the new stuff and being able to evolve in their tastes. But it's not about that. You are most influenced by what you see and experience growing up and it's those things that tend to stick with you the most.

Hence the fact Rob Zombie is making movies the way he is.
