A Quote by Robert Englund

The truth of it is when you get an audience to laugh and camp along with you, it's much easier to scare 'em again because they're using two sides of their emotions. It's much easier to set them up for a good cheap thrill scare again.
I feel it's easier to scare or thrill people than to make them laugh.
It is much easier and safer to scare someone into submission than to beat them into submission.
Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell; it’s a place for those who love God. You can scare people into coming to your church, you can scare people into trying to be good, you can scare people into giving money, you can even scare them into walking down an aisle and praying a certain prayer, but you cannot scare people into loving God. You just can’t do it.
I always had the desire to entertain people, whether it was to make 'em laugh or to scare 'em or stir things up just to cause problems.
If you're a playwright, unless you're really lacking in get-up-and-go, you can always get your play up somewhere. You can't necessarily make a living doing it, but theater is about meeting an audience. Plays are not easier to write necessarily, they take less time to write. If you get them up, it's a much more rough-and-tumble kind of existence. I think it's, from my perspective, easier than novel writing.
And when you're alone there's a very good chance you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants There are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.
I have to admit that I really don't care for horror movies all that much. I think mainly just because I'm a cheap scare.
Bones,” I sighed. “Know something? I’m not afraid of you, but you scare me….” His outline blurred again. “You scare me, too, Kitten,” he might have replied, but I couldn’t be sure.
It's good to have an idea about what you want to do with your life before just doing things. If you have goals and dreams, it doesn't really matter if you achieve them, but if you have them it's much easier to not get lost. It's easier to make decisions.
It's just much easier to wake up and be you and go to bed and do it over again.
Fear is an underrated emotion. And that's why I think it's very dangerous to try and cosset children from it. A healthy scare is as good as as a healthy laugh. In fact, they're two sides of the same coin. There is a desire to shield from the knocks and bumps of reality.
I think that the joke and the ghost story both have a similar set up in that you kind of set something up and pay it off with a laugh or a scare.
It is a much easier thing to unloose the demon war than to chain him up again.
At the end of the day, a "jump scare" scares the audience for the moment. Slow burn horror ideas scare people forever.
It’s so much easier to walk away than it is to have to explain to someone that you never want to see them again.
Facing them (men) with knives and spears was much easier than loving them, much easier.
