Seth Grahame-Smith was January 1976 in New York. He is a New York Times bestselling author, screenwriter, producer and director of film and television.

In 2009, Grahame-Smith created the "mash-up" craze with his novel "pride and prejudice and zombies," which debuted at #3 on the new york times bestseller list. It's since sold over two million copies and been translated into more than twenty languages. A feature film adaptation is set for 2015.

In 2010, Grahame-Smith co-created and produced MTV's first live action comedy, "The Hard Times of RJ Berger," which ran for two seasons. That same year, his follow up novel, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," debuted at #4 on The Times list, also going on to sell more than two million copies. Tim Burton purchased the film rights to "Lincoln" and hired Seth to adapt it for the big screen. Seth's script was selected to the black list in 2011.

In 2012, Warner Brothers bought the film rights to Grahame-Smith's third straight New York Times bestseller, "Unholy Night," in a record-setting deal. He's currently adapting the book for the screen, and producing the film with David Heyman (the "Harry Potter" series).

Grahame-Smith wrote the screenplay for Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows," and is currently working with Burton on a sequel to the 1988 classic "Beetlejuice." He's also producing "Stephen King's It" and a spinoff to "The Lego Movie" for Warner Brothers, while preparing to direct an adaptation of Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes" for Disney.

In television, Grahame-Smith is writing and producing an adaption of Stephen King's "The Things They Left Behind" for CBS.
