Author Details

Tom is an editor and published horror author. He holds a BA in Creative Writing, which is convenient because he doesn’t do much else with his time. He's based in the UK with his wife and two kids (something that gives him far more knowledge about deep Bluey and Kung Fu Panda lore than he'd ever publicly admit).

Industry Focus

Tom is the Hubs Editor at Screen Rant. He covers upcoming movies and TV shows, keeping readers informed on vital release dates, cast info, and if next seasons have been renewed or canceled. He's a cross-genre aficionado when it comes to films and TV series, although he has an especially keen interest in horror, sci-fi, procedurals, sitcoms, and Disney.

Favorite Media

Tom watches more movies and shows than any person probably should, and his favorites change regularly. Presently he's been getting heavily into procedurals like 9-1-1 and the One Chicago block, but horror and sci-fi still dominate his movie choices, with Terrifier 2, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Evil Dead Rise being his best movies of the last few years.
