एक संगीतकार के तौर पर हॉरर फिल्में आपको वो आज़ादी देती हैं जो किसी और शैली की फिल्म में नहीं मिल सकती। इसका संगीत आक्रामक होना चाहिए। आप दबी पाँवों नहीं चल सकते। यह नाटकीय रूप से बेहद सटीक होना चाहिए—यहाँ दुविधा में पड़ने का कोई वक्त नहीं होता। इससे एकदम स्वतःस्फूर्त (नी-जर्क) प्रतिक्रिया आनी चाहिए।
Horror allows you to do things as a composer than you're able to do in no other style of movie. The music has to be aggressive. You can't tiptoe around. It has to be incredibly focused dramatically - no time for second thoughts. It needs to generate a kneejerk reaction.

मैं 20वीं सदी के ऑर्केस्ट्रा संगीत का, और 50, 60 और 70 के दशक के प्रायोगिक अवांत-गार्डे संगीतकारों का बहुत बड़ा फैन हूँ। हॉरर फिल्मों में आप ऐसा संगीत लिख सकते हैं जिसे अगर कॉन्सर्ट हॉल में बजाया जाए तो दर्शक कान में उँगली डालकर कमरे से बाहर भाग खड़े हों। लेकिन फिल्म में वही संगीत अचानक से बेहद सहज और सराहा जाने लगता है।
I'm a fan of 20th century orchestral music, the experimental avant-garde composers of the '50s, '60s, and '70s. In horror movies you can write music that if it was performed on the concert stage would have the audience running out of the room with their fingers in their ears. But in a movie all of a sudden it becomes incredibly accessible and appreciated.

हॉरर फिल्म के लिए संगीत तैयार करना, किसी मेले में लोगों को लुभाने वाले हॉकर्स (आवाज़ लगाने वाले) जैसा है। एक अच्छा होकर किसी को भी रस्सी से घिरे तंबू के अंदर खींच सकता है। खासतौर पर मुख्य शीर्षक संगीत के ज़रिए मेरा काम दर्शकों को फिल्म में छलांग लगाने के लिए मनाना होता है, भले ही उनका विवेक उनसे कह रहा हो, "मुझे अपना पॉपकॉर्न नीचे रखकर यहाँ से भाग जाना चाहिए!"
My job scoring a horror movie is like being the barker at a carnival. A good barker can get anyone to walk into the roped-off tent. Especially with the main title, my job is to convince the audience to take the leap into the film even though their better sense is telling them, "I should put my popcorn down and get the hell outta here"!
