Jack Laird(1923-1991)

Had co-written an early screenplay of Mi nombre es violencia (1968) with Herman Miller.

The British are masters in this form, Victorian mansions, ghostly footsteps, foggy streets. But there's also such an enormous body of American fiction that there's a publishing house, Arkham, in Sauk City, Iowa, devoted to nothing else but these kinds of stories, and it's catalog of titles is a thick book in itself. Aside from an occasional original story by Rod Serling, we plan to do only adaptions from this massive body of work.
