Responsible for the screenplays of some of the best of the late 80s horror, including The Blob and the fan-favorite third installment of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, Dream Warriors, acclaimed filmmaker Frank Darabont turns 63 today!
Known for his dramas like the all-time classic The Shawshank Redemption, his most significant contribution to horror cinema was 2007’s The Mist. This feature about a town shrouded in a monster-filled mist was a sensation and remains my personal favorite Stephen King adaptation. He also served as executive producer on another smash hit, AMC’s massively popular horror show The Walking Dead, in its first two seasons.
So, here’s to many more happy birthdays, Mr. Darabont, and much love from all of us here at Horror Press!
