Mick Garris

Highest Rated: 77% Nightmare Cinema (2018)

Lowest Rated: 20% Psycho IV: The Beginning (1990)

Birthday: Dec 4, 1951

Birthplace: Santa Monica, California, USA

A long-time fan of horror, fantasy and science fiction movies, Mick Garris successfully turned his passion into a profession as a producer-writer-director of medium budget genre fare for film and TV. Mindful of his origins, he has won some affection from fans by keeping their interests in mind as he works. This respect for the material and the audience has served him well in his collaboration with novelist-turned-screenwriter Stephen King, particularly on the popular TV miniseries version of "Stephen King's 'The Stand'" (ABC, 1994). Garris' work has been unambitious but more than adequate as he places story concerns before special effects.
