About Samuel Williamson
Sam is a Senior Writer for Collider. His love for movies, TV shows, and books stretches back to his early childhood and has grown exponentially with every passing year. Lucky for him, this love grew into a career in writing. Whether he's rambling for the umpteenth time about the works of Sam Raimi and Stephen King, or he's writing about the latest and greatest low-budget movies, you better believe that with every word, Sam feels a profound joy in his work.
Aside from being a movie fan, Sam has also made a few of his own. His love for movies has vomited itself back out and onto the screen in the form of his own independent films, including the comedic genre-benders At Sundown I Shoot Your Spurs and Night of the Pizza Demons. Sam has spent the last few years practicing his hand at screenwriting but is currently gearing up to shoot his next project.
Outside of movies, Sam loves playing guitar, jamming with his band, spinning records, reading, jogging, and whipping up new recipes in his kitchen. He lives with his wife and two dogs in Little Rock, Arkansas.
