Jack Laird(1923-1991)

Had co-written an early screenplay of Meu Nome é Coogan (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.
