About Mike Kalvoda,
Fan. Critic. Bottle-rocketing horror writer. Prepare to channel your inner late night/lights off pizza-and-DVD pal!
Mike Kalvoda: a thrilling new pulse in horror. His mind likened to "being shared by a five-year old and a serial killer."
And Chiller's got him.
A childhood fraidy-cat-turned-genre-envelope-pusher, Kalvoda scores his professional screenwriting debut with a soon-to-be-announced watershed reimagining of a way-cool cult '70s horror fav from the producing team of Branded Pix Entertainment's J. Todd Harris & Marc Marcum and IPW. "Optimally, I only want to put my name on projects that have a genuine shot at greatness. In this one, I have a total love affair."
For top independent comic publisher Zenescope Entertainment, this walking encyclopedia of film authored 12-going-on-13 graphic novels while contributing to five more. Titles include the international hit trade paperback spin-off of New Line Cinema's Final Destination, and the deeply disturbing Sloth and Wrath installments of the prequel to the modern classic Se7en. (Kalvoda poison-pens the psychotic "voice" of serial killer John Doe in each issue's trademark notebook pages.) He's also written for Zenescope's signature Grimm Fairy Tales line, singled out as one of the industry's hottest titles. Currently on shelves across the planet, his latest series -- The Piper – is cracking graphic novel best-seller lists.
