David Ian McKendry

David and Rebekah McKendry met in their undergrad theater arts program, where they quickly began writing plays together. Many years (and a couple of kids) later, they are an acclaimed writing and directing duo. Their most recent horror feature, Glorious (starring J. K. Simmons, written by David, and directed by Rebekah), premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival, and, after receiving top honors from critics, was certified as “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes. Rebekah and David began their film career working for Fangoria and went on to work with companies like Penguin Random House, Blumhouse Productions, AMP, AMC Networks, Universal Pictures, Shudder, Paramount, and more. They have published multiple books, including several volumes of the Hellraiser comic book series and Barstow from Dark Horse Comics. They also wrote the young adult graphic novel Pretty Evil. David and Rebekah have two kids, two dogs, two cats, and several tarantulas. They can often be found on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland or touring the country in their camper.
