Author Information
SCOTT S. PHILLIPS has written in almost every capacity imaginable: films, TV, comic books and even dialogue for talking dolls. He's the author of the novels PETE, DRINKER OF BLOOD, SQUIRREL EYES (and its spin-off stories of jack-of-all-trades Boone Butters) and FRIDAY THE 13th: CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PSYCHOPATH. His film reviews have been collected in the aptly titled UNSAFE ON ANY SCREEN. Scott is also the author of the short story collection TALES OF MISERY AND IMAGINATION and co-editor (with Robert E. Vardeman) of the anthology A CAREER GUIDE TO YOUR JOB IN HELL (and has a story in that collection). Scott has worked in many capacities in the movie industry, including writing and directing the low-budget films GIMME SKELTER and THE STINK OF FLESH. He wrote the screenplay for the cult action flick DRIVE (1997) and several episodes of the CW Network's KAMEN RIDER DRAGON KNIGHT. He has worked in sound editing, make-up FX, cheeseburger-fetching and even marched around the New Mexico hills in the classic flick RED DAWN. Perhaps most importantly, he once performed as stand-in for the legendary Lemmy in a Motorhead video.
