Eric Red has given us classic entries in several sub-genres of horror. As a screenwriter, he crafted layered stories involving homicidal maniacs (The Hitcher, Blue Steel) and vampires (Near Dark), and as a writer/director he has brought us the twisted serial killer movie Body Parts, the now iconic Bad Moon and the superior haunted house effort 100 Feet. He even manage dto knock it ouyt of the book as a horror author with his novel Don't Stand so Close, Guns of Santa Sangre, It Waits Below and more!
Eric Red has definitely earned a place in our Horror Hall of Fame, and we officially induct him in the new episode of our video series. Check it out in the embed above!
