I’ve been writing about horror, action and exploitation movies for nearly 25 years, starting with a review of DEATH RACE 2000 in my high school newspaper that somehow won a High School Press Day award at the end of my freshman year. In July of 1987, I co-founded the fanzine Temple of Schlock with my likeminded pal from the school paper, Paul DeCirce. I was 16, he was 15, and between us we managed to put out 24 issues before the ‘zine crashed and burned in late 1991. By that time I was attending the State University of New York at Buffalo and writing “The Bone Yard,” a movie column for the weekly student magazine, The Generation. After graduation and three-and-a-half miserable years as a promotion assistant/copywriter at a Madison Avenue publishing house that no longer exists, I went for an MLS at Pratt Institute while enduring monotonous part-time gigs in the libraries of the New York City Bar Association, First Manhattan Consulting Group, and the monster known as Morgan Stanley.
For the past 10 years I’ve balanced library work with freelance writing and research jobs – articles, interviews, liner notes, etc. – most of which are on display in the Pics section, in the "Writing" folder. One of my screenplays was optioned by TAE Entertainment, a producer of Oliver Stone’s HEAVEN AND EARTH, and a horror script I co-wrote with Howard S. Berger, BLEED, is being turned into a graphic novel by Cinemagraphix and eventually a movie to be produced by Darin Scott (MENACE II SOCIETY, TALES FROM THE HOOD, LOVE AND A .45). Several writing projects I’m currently working on include a children’s book, a few action and horror screenplays (co-written with Howard S. Berger), a reference book of novelizations and movie tie-in paperbacks (co-written with Michael Gingold), and “Racing with the Devil: The Life & Films of Jack Starrett” (co-written with Robert Plante).
