“Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn as the blind girl being marauded by Alan Arkin as the heroin dealer. She inadvertently gets the heroin stuffed into a doll that a girl gives her. It ends up in the dryer and she doesn’t know she has it and they want it back.”

“Probably Sixth Sense and Shyamalan’s The Village. I guess those psychological thrillers really get to me. When you think about it for months and months after, it is really scary.”

“Halloween. The music, the lighting and the fact that he just kept coming back was it. There was something about it that gets into your head.”
