In my own life, I think legends of supernatural, mythic things are really just a manifestation of the collective unconscious. So I don't really get freaked out. I mean certainly, you read about things people did to each other in the pursuit of some mystical or occult goal, and it's horrifying. But that's just human nature.

I try to turn a place on film into a mental state. I always have three or four locations that I repeat and return to in a film, to make it more mythic.

 he cobbled together fragments of myth and poetry to compensate for the almost complete lack of official records.
