Brian R. Hauser has spent most of his life in Ohio, which is as flat as it you've always heard it is. He holds three degrees from The Ohio State University (one in literature and two in film), because he likes definite articles. Like many Lovecraft fans of his generation, he first came to know 'Grandpa Theobald' and the Cthulhu mythos through table-top role-playing games before devouring the stories in print and watching the films in theaters, on tape, and on DVD. Brian’s submission for the 2010 Deep One Screenwriting Competition, Cult Flick, was inspired by his cross-country road trip to attend the 2003 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival.He is currently an assistant professor of film studies at Union College in Schenectady, NY, where he lives with his wife and two cats. (The cats may be engaged in epic battles against otherworldly forces, but they aren’t talking.) Brian is deeply jealous of his wife, who lived on College Hill in Providence for four years.
