Jonathan Mostow

Born 1961 · Woodbridge, Connecticut, USA · Active 1982–2025

Jonathan Mostow, born in 1961, is an American director and writer known for his contributions to cult cinema. He directed and wrote Fright Show (1985), a film that encapsulates the spirit of 1980s horror with its blend of camp and horror elements. Mostow’s early work in the genre set the stage for his later success in mainstream films, but his roots in exploitation cinema remain significant. His ability to craft tense narratives in Fright Show showcases his understanding of genre conventions, making him a notable figure in the SassyFlix catalog.
