About Jeff Ewing

Jeff Ewing is a critic, entertainment journalist, interviewer, and screenwriter in LA with a life-long love of horror and film history. He has an M.S. in Sociology from the University of Oregon, and a B.A. in Philosophy from Eastern Washington University. He's been writing about horror and sci-fi film and TV for fifteen years, with bylines in Collider, Inverse, Slashfilm, Looper, The Playlist, Forbes, and elsewhere.

Jeff also has contributions in a number of Pop Culture and Philosophy books, and co-edited two books: Alien and Philosophy and Stranger Things and Philosophy. In this track, he founded, hosts, and produces the monster podcast Humanoids from the Deep Dive, which digs into the history, themes, and meanings behind favorite monsters and monster movies/TV series. 

Favorite Media

Jeff loves a variety of genres in film, TV, video game, and literary history, but his favorite and particular expertise is in monster movies. 

He's a huge fan of anything John Carpenter, Takashi Miike, or Godzilla-related, and is happy to explore everything from Oscar-nominated classics to rare international features to rare, low-budget horror. 

Jeff also loves comics, literature, and folklore. When he's not analyzing media, his favorite thing is spending quality time in sunny Los Angeless with his wonderful wife and two amazing dogs.

Industry Experience

Jeff has been a professional writer since 2009. He's written for a variety of entertainment and pop culture sites, as well as in print publications and peer-reviewed books and journals.
