Robert Tinnell (born April 27, 1961 〔(Tinnell bio at the Internet Movie Database. ) Accessed March 26, 2009.〕 in Fairmont, West Virginia)〔 is a film screenwriter, director, and producer. He is also the author of several comic books and graphic novels, notably with a horror slant. ==Biography== Tinnell's work as a director includes the films ''Kids of the Round Table'' (1995), ''Believe'' (2000), and ''Frankenstein and Me'' (1996), the latter of which was very popular with fans of classic horror. Tinnell has frequently acknowledged his passion for horror, particularly classic horror films.〔Kronenberg, M., ''Comic Book Market Place'', vol. 3, No. 114 (Aug 2004), pp. 40–43.〕 Hammer Film Productions aficionados seek out ''Frankenstein and Me'' because of a sequence inspired by the 1960 Terence Fisher film ''Brides of Dracula'', which starred Peter Cushing. Tinnell's film actually recreates a windmill set that is used in the Hammer film.〔McTigue & Keller, ''Vampirella'' magazine No. 4, page 40.〕 In the same film, Tinnell meticulously recreated a scene reminiscent of ''Night of the Living Dead'' as well as other horror classics. All of the sequences featured children in the adult roles. Burt Reynolds and Louise Fletcher starred in ''Frankenstein and Me'', alongside a young Ryan Gosling. (Stars Elisha Cuthbert and Gosling both had early film roles for Tinnell.) As a producer, Tinnell worked in both the music video world as well as feature films. Among his credits as producer are the MTV Award-winning Paula Abdul music video "Straight Up," directed by David Fincher, and the notorious cult film ''Surf Nazis Must Die'' (released through Troma). Tinnell is best known in comics for a series of horror graphic novels, including ''The Black Forest'', ''The Wicked West'', ''The Living and The Dead'', and ''Sight Unseen''. His book ''Feast of the Seven Fishes'' was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album – Reprint.〔Ong Pang Kean, Benjamin. ("SDCC '07: Robert Tinnell's ''Feast of the Seven Fishes'' to Become Film," Newsarama (July 26, 2007). ) Accessed March 26, 2009.〕 While promoting ''Feast of the Seven Fishes'', Tinnell was a guest on several popular radio cooking shows, including ''The Splendid Table'' with Lynne Rossetto Kasper, the ''Rocco Dispirito Show'', and KCRW's ''Good Food''. Currently, Tinnell is writing ''The Chelation Kid'', a webcomic dealing with his son's autism, and ''EZ Streets'', in collaboration with Mark Wheatley, as well as various screenwriting and directing projects. He is the director of the web series Here There Be Monsters, filmed by students of (The Factory Digital Filmmaking Program at Douglas ) and with make-up effects created by the students of Tom Savini's Special Makeup Effects Program at Douglas Education Center. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Tinnell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
