  • Don Coscarelli is an American film director and screenwriter best known for horror films. His credits include the Phantasm series, The Beastmaster, and Bubba Ho-Tep. Coscarelli was born in Libya and raised in Southern California. His family is among the Italian Libyan population. He speaks Arabic and American English aside from his native Italian. Although his family was not connected with the motion picture business, he was fascinated with cameras and filmmaking at an early age. Long before he was old enough to attend film school, his short films, made with the help of neighborhood friends in his home town of Long Beach, California, were winning prizes on television. At the age of nineteen, Coscarelli became the youngest director to have a feature film distributed by a major studio when he sold his independently produced and critically acclaimed drama, Jim, The World's Greatest, to Universal Pictures. Jim was the first collaboration for Coscarelli with the accomplished actor Lawrence Rory Guy, who went on to achieve legendary horror icon status under the screen name Angus Scrimm. Jim, The World's Greatest was an official selection of the USA Film Festival. Coscarelli is best known for the Phantasm films. Phantasm and its three successful sequels spawned a huge cult of fans around the world and have become staples in the home video and DVD market. The original Phantasm was a worldwide critical and box-office success and won the Special Jury Prize at the Festival du Cinema Fantastique at Avoriaz, France. Mr. Coscarelli also co-wrote (with Paul Pepperman) and directed The Beastmaster, which was described recently in Entertainment Weekly as "one of the most popular films of all time on cable television. " The Beastmaster has spawned two sequels and a television series. Mr. Coscarelli was the recipient of the Bram Stoker Award for Best Screenplay for his film Bubba Ho-Tep, which he also directed. Based on a short story by Joe R. Lansdale, Bubba Ho-Tep stars Bruce Campbell, Ossie Davis and frequent Coscarelli collaborator Reggie Bannister. In addition to being a critical hit, Bubba Ho-Tep was also a festival favorite, playing in such prestigious international film festivals as the Toronto International Film Festival, SXSW, Florida Film Festival, Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Films, and the Hong Kong International Film festival. At HBO's US Comedy Arts Festival, Coscarelli was the recipient of the Best Screenplay Award. At Montreal's FantAsia Festival Bubba Ho-Tep was the recipient of the Best International Film award. Coscarelli also directed the premiere episode of the American TV series Masters of Horror entitled "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road" and co-wrote the teleplay with Stephen Romano. Coscarelli is currently rumored to be working on Bubba Nosferatu, a sequel to his film Bubba Ho-Tep. Recently Coscarelli has purchased film rights to the horror novel/internet series John Dies at the End by David Wong.

  • Don Coscarelli is een Libisch-Amerikaans filmregisseur. Hij ontving in 2003 een Bram Stoker Award voor het script dat hij schreef voor de film Bubba Ho-tep, naar het gelijknamige boek van Joe R. Lansdale. Ook Coscarelli's producties Phantasm (1979) en The Beastmaster (1982) leverden hem filmprijzen op. Coscarelli's naam is onlosmakelijk verbonden aan de cultfilm-serie die volgde op de lowbudgetfilm Phantasm uit 1979. Bijna twintig jaar na dato verscheen hiervan het vierde deel en zowel de regisseur als hoofdrolspeler Angus Scrimm (die in alle delen speelt) werden door de titels graaggeziene gasten op verscheidene horrorfestivals. Coscarelli's cult-imago werd nog eens vergroot na het verschijnen van Bubba Ho-tep (2002), een horror-komedie over een door Evil Dead-acteur Bruce Campbell gespeelde 68-jarige Elvis Presley, die nog steeds in leven is, maar waarvan niemand gelooft dat hij de echte is. Coscarelli werd geboren in Libië, maar is de zoon van een Amerikaanse moeder (Kate) en groeide op in de Verenigde Staten. Zelf is hij vader van dochter Chloe en zoon Andy. Hij volgde nooit een opleiding voor het maken van films.
