ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Drac Von Stoller's imagination and fascination for the Horror genre began when he was a little boy watching his favorite actors such as Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi on his little black and white television alone in his bedroom with the lights out. Drac Von Stoller would watch these horror movies for hours under the covers. Drac Von Stoller would have nightmares, but he didn't care because he loved watching these types of movies. His fascination with movies went beyond the TV screen to building model kits of his favorite characters like Dracula, the Wolfman, Frankenstein and The Munster's car from his favorite television series.
​
​​When Drac Von Stoller became an adult he decided one day that he would write a short story in the horror genre and let some of his friends read it and see what they thought. He wasn't sure if they would really like what he wrote and if they weren't impressed then his dream would be shattered, but that would not be the case. Drac's first story he wrote was considered flash fiction called "Death in the Wilderness," just something to make them want more, and that's exactly what they wanted. Drac felt he succeeded and now the rest is history.
To date, Drac Von Stoller has written 228 stories, self-published in his 7-volume collection, 31 Horrifying Tales from the Dead. His work has been downloaded over 2.6 million times through Google Books, Smashwords, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and many others in more than 147 countries. He sold 4,140 audiobooks with the help of very talented narrators through ACX as well.
But Drac's real dream was to see his creations come to life. In collaboration with David Heavener, nine of Drac Von Stoller's short stories-- "Bloody Mary," "The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs," "The Haunted Mirror," "The Doll," "The Clown Statue," "Cemetery of the Living Dead," "Dracula: The Legend Lives," "The Vanishing Hitchhiker," and "No More Mr. Nice Guy"--have been released as short films on Amazon Prime Video and as an anthology on Tubi.
Drac Von Stoller has been connecting through Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn with some of horror's greatest like Linda Blair (who played Regan in The Exorcist), as well as several members of the Hellraiser series' cast such as Barbie Wilde (Hellraiser II), Simon Bamford (Hellraiser), and Nicolas-Burman (Hellraiser I & II). He has also connected with many of the actors who have played Jason over the years, like Ari Lehman (Friday the 13th), Ken Kirzinger (Jason vs. Freddy), Warrington Gillette (Friday the 13th), and Dick Wieand (Friday the 13th Part V), as well as the screenplay writer for the original Friday the 13th, Victor Miller.
​
Similarly, he has connected with Tony Moran (Halloween) and Tyler Mane (Rob Zombie's Halloween), who have both played Michael Myers, as well as two of the actors who have played the legendary Leatherface, Dan Yeager (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D) and Bill Johnson (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2). And finally, Jim Krut--who played a zombie in the original Dawn of the Dead--and John Russo--the co-creater of Night of the Living Dead.
