"The interesting thing about Dracula is that, like Candyman, he elicits a certain amount of sympathy. For me, great monsters are not simply images of fear. They are also images that we feel a kind of ambiguity about where we're scared but we also feel we get closer to them... "One of the great things about these kind of movies is that, if they're done well, they're very much audience participation movies. You know, you get involved. You can't sit in front of Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh and remain unmoved: even if you don't like the movie, it's going to get hold of you."
