Personal Quote:

That's what I love about fairy tales; they tell the truth, not organized politics, religion or economics. Those things destroy the soul. That is the idea from Pan's Labyrinth (2006) and it surfaces in Hellboy (2004) and, to some degree, in all my films. See more »

Trivia:

His movie and comic book collection is so huge that he had to buy an extra home to accommodate it. See more »

Trademark:

Uses a lot of religious relics and artifacts. Always mentions Catholicism See more »
