Authors A to Z - Steven Warren Hill

Steven Warren Hill was born in Chicago in 1966 and has loved classic horror movies for as long as he can remember, thanks in part to his grandfather Karl's own interest in the same subject. When Karl passed away in 1977, Steve inherited a collection of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine (issues 1-27) and a complete set of Aurora monster model kits beautifully built-up by Karl's careful hand.

With the coming of the home video boom in the 1980s, Steve was able to start collecting, watching, and rewatching all his favorite classic horror movies, something he still does to this day (though interestingly, his top favorite film is BRIGHTON ROCK - not a horror film at all).

He runs a number of websites including The Movie Title Screens Page (a gallery of - what else - movie title screens), The Fay Wray Pages (officially sanctioned by Fay Wray herself) and The Doctor Who Image Archive, under his umbrella site www.shillpages.com, and is currently in administrative charge of the hugely popular Doctor Who Forum (once known as Outpost Gallifrey).

Steve also loves music, acting and moviemaking. He is married to Jill Petillo (no kids, one rabbit) and they live in Chicago. This is Steve's first book. Erm, first TWO books.
