Steven Barton

Production · born 27 June 1972 · Brooklyn, New York, USA

For as long as he can remember, Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton's life has been akin to riding the world's most dangerous roller coaster non-stop through the most haunted amusement park on Earth. From the dysfunctional chaos of his formative years and losing it all time and time again, Barton has managed to transcend every odd and become a leader in his field.

A life-long horror fan since the age of three, Steve broke into the business by working for Fangoria as their message board moderator. "It was a chance to interact with people just like me," says Barton. "Horror fans have long been frowned upon. I wanted to help create a place, a gathering point, which they could call home, free of judgment." And so he did.

Where to start: Laugh.
