Nigel Kneale(1922-2006)

He wrote the original script for Halloween III: El imperio de las brujas (1982), but had his name removed from the film after the script was heavily changed by director Tommy Lee Wallace.

[on adapting Bernard Cornwell's novel into the television film Sharpe's Gold (1995)] I didn't use much of the book. I used the first ten pages, I think. Then I had an idea which would be more fun to do. It was all about magic by the time I was through with it.
