About the Scary Horror Writer – Jeff Dixon

I’m that twisted guy who grew up reading Fangoria magazine and watching every single horror movie his local video store in small town Utah had on the shelf.  Instead of posters of sports cars, or baseball heroes, I had Jason and Freddy hanging on my walls.  Yeah, I guess you could say I was kind of a freak.

Fast forward many years…  I graduated from film school, where I completed many short horror films, but most importantly, honed my skills for writing screenplays.  I worked odd jobs on a few indie films (I was even Fred Ward’s double once!) then finally decided I had to move to Los Angeles.  With not a single contact, and only a Hollywood Creative Directory in tow, I cold-called every production company A to Z.  I finally landed a job at Danny Devito’s company, Jersey Films.  After working there, and on the production side for a while, I decided to quit and write full time.  Thank God that worked out.  I currently reside in Pacific Palisades, CA.

I’m a represented writer who focuses mainly on the horror and thriller genres.  I’ve written numerous feature length scripts, many of which are tied up at various studios or production companies.  I’m constantly working on a pitch, treatment, script, comic book, or even graphic novel (my first feature length graphic novel “Run Like Hell” coming out soon!)  Both myself and my projects have been mentioned in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, as well as countless internet websites.  But no, to answer your question, as of now, not a single one of my projects have been filmed yet.  Yes, it is possible to work and make a living in an industry without your blood, sweat, and tears actually appearing on screen.  I’m that consummate “development” and “behind the scenes” guy.  It sucks, but it’s true.  But hey, we can talk about that later.

Until then, I’m just a crazy horror guy who loves everything horror.  Join me down here in the darkness won’t you?

Good times.
