Mike Mendez quotes:

I've always wanted to do blow with Genghis Khan, 'bet that guy knows how to party. I also think a bottle of wine with Hitchcock would've been cool. Also doing shots with the baby Jesus, bet that guy knows how to party.

I love to travel, it doesn't matter where I am in the world, usually there's a good time to be had.

It's Axelle's [ Carolyn] concept and she's the one who got the ball rolling. She told a few of us about it, and I brought in Epic Pictures and got it financed.

It's been Axelle's [Carolyn] and my burden to bear, for better or worse. A very fun burden to bear.

There have been a lot of horror anthologies as of late; movies like V/H/S and The ABCs of Death have brought the anthology back in style. We sort of felt like, "Why don't we do one and do our own thing?"

We talked to a lot of filmmakers who had worked on other anthologies and we looked at every anthology, and we wanted to just find a different way [for Tales of Halloween]. And being that unity was what the whole spirit of the project was - unity and friendship and community.

You know it's going to be difficult because you're working with friends, but at the same it's like, well, they're your friends and everybody's cool, so even if there are rough spots we'll get through it. And I'm happy to say we did.
