00:00I'm a big fan of like dubbed Italian horror films.

00:20It was really great to come back to this world.

00:22I mean, I don't usually like to do that kind of a thing,

00:25but I just recall the experience of making the film

00:29and the sort of energy and the sort of improv

00:33and sort of having sets and puppets and physical effects.

00:37And, you know, you get kind of lost

00:39in the big Hollywood structure.

00:41And so for me, it was kind of going back

00:43into making stuff the way I like doing it, you know,

00:46and working with people that I love

00:48and both originals and the new cast and everything.

00:52And so for me, and trying to do it in the same spirit

00:56that we did the first one, shoot it quickly,

00:58you know, shoot it, you know,

01:00make stuff up every day on a daily basis.

01:03And you don't get to do that with a lot of movies.

01:06It was important for me that this was a very personal movie

01:09in terms of everything, you know, my feeling about Lydia

01:12and what happens to people as you get older

01:14and the life choices you make and for good and for bad

01:18and the relationships that you have, kids, whatever.

01:21And so everything, you know, you know, like Soul Train,

01:25because I used to love watching Soul Train as a child.

01:28And so even things on the set,

01:31because you're making up a world,

01:33everything on the set has to have some kind of meaning to it.

01:36So for me, I guess the whole thing

01:39is filled with those kind of things.

01:45A lot of them are in there.

01:47I mean, you know, I'm a big fan of, like,

01:51dubbed Italian horror films.

01:53And, you know, in fact, most people should say,

01:56oh, I prefer the original language.

01:58But, you know, for me, I grew up on, you know,

02:01Japanese, Italian, Mexican horror films

02:04dubbed into English that became like a weird poetry to me.

02:08And, you know, things like Soul Train and just everything.

02:11I mean, I truly kind of put...

02:13And that's why we wanted to go back

02:15and shoot in the original location.

02:17You know, everything...

02:19And even seeing the cast,

02:21my first day when I saw Winona and Catherine on the set,

02:24I got very emotional, you know.

02:26And so having that kind of emotion

02:28when you're making something

02:30is a very powerful artistic tool.
