STEVE “UNCLE CREEPY” BARTON (Associate Producer)

For over thirty-five years,Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton's life hasbeen akin to riding a rollercoaster non-stop in the most haunted amusement park on earth. A horror fan since the age of three, Steve broke into the business by working for Fangoria.com as their message board moderator. "It was a chance to interact with people just like me," says Creepy. "Horror fans have long been frowned upon. I wanted to create a place, a gathering point which they could call home, free of judgment." And so he did. His tenure with Fango lasted nearly two years until he was afforded the opportunity to expand his creative muscles by working with The Horror Channel as both a professional and a personality. From there he took the next step free of all corporate entities and struck out on his own with his team in tow to form one of the industry's largest and most well-respected websites, DreadCentral.com. Now a published author, an accredited critic with well over two-hundred written reviews under his belt, a respected film historian and sometimes actor, Steve shows no signs of slowing down as he continues to carve out a name for himself despite the ups and downs that all roller coasters bring.
