Glen Schofield Talks Dead Space, Probably Good At Arm Wrestling

Eric Bush over at PlanetXbox360 got some camera time with Dead Space executive producer Glen Schofield. In order to better wrap his head around the concept of the horror genre, Schofield sought out Wes Craven and Eli Roth to pick their brains. He admits that Craven had more of a philosophical definition of horror while Roth was more about straight up torture porn. Not so surprisingly, they’re already kicking around the idea of the sequel. I’m sure Schofield will get to it in between reps of preacher curls.
