I've always loved the films from the German era of expressionism, and Nosferatu is my favorite along side The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The expressionistic concept of literally painting the hopes and fears of the characters and audience into the film's world is an amazing idea. And also I've always felt these films are like "motion paintings" and something I've wanted to revisit since I was a kid. Working with Doug is amazing, although we share the same whacked out sense of humor. So Doug and I have a tendency to wander off into insane-asylum'ville. That's when the crew just kind of has to take a coffee break and let us finish our comedy show for two.

A lot! We're going to not only add sound dialog and music, but bring a whole dynamic, too. Including camera movement and atmospheres. And of course Dougie Jones is the only man alive who could play the perfect homage to the legendary Max Shrek

That's a good one. I'm practicing with Liza Minnelli's costume from Caberet - thought it'd bring a little touch of class for our Broadway show.

I'd probably say The Fly and The Thing. I love both versions. Howard Hawks original "Thing" is one of my favorite movies.

The first few pages are key. You'll fight yourself tooth and nail not to do it, and doubt everything you write. But if you can kind of take the pressure off your mind by telling yourself you can always go back and fix stuff, and it's OK if it's crap right now, you'll find everything will loosen up and the characters and story will kind of automatically become alive for you. Just power through the first 20 pages or so that way, and it'll really helps!
