As a child, Mark Onspaugh sat too close to the TV, and now needs glasses.  His young brain was irradiated with monster movies, sci-fi and Looney Tunes.  DC Comics took care of the rest.  Today, he is the writer of the film Kill Katie Malone, a co-writer of the cult fave Flight of the Living Dead, and has several scripts in development.  He has sold numerous short stories and essays.  He tells people he was raised by wolves, but his parents were nice people who only eviscerated the occasional wayward traveler.  You can visit him at www.markonspaugh.com and on his Facebook pages, including Out of My Mind – Fiction and Film from MarkOnspaugh.
