Biography

Ken Wiederhorn, a writer, director, and producer, was born in Rego Park, Queens, New York. He attended Kenyon College in Ohio for two years before leaving during his sophomore year. Returning to New York, he started as a mail boy at CBS television network, gradually advancing from gofer to editor and eventually becoming a news producer. Wiederhorn studied film at Columbia University, where he was taught by renowned film critic Andrew Sarris. He made his notable feature debut directing and co-writing the chilling Nazi zombie horror film "Shock Waves." Wiederhorn's later projects have varied widely, including the raunchy comedy "King Frat," the effective slasher "Eyes of a Stranger," the silly "Meatballs Part II," the underwhelming "Return of the Living Dead, Part II," and the strong thriller "A House in the Hills." Additionally, he directed episodes of TV series such as "Dark Justice," "Freddy's Nightmares," and "21 Jump Street." He produced the television drama "A Single Light," and co-wrote, co-directed, and co-executive produced the supernatural thriller "Dark Tower." Wiederhorn contributed to an early draft of Brian De Palma's "Body Double," though he was not credited in the final film. More recently, he has been involved in directing and producing episodes of documentary series like "U.S. Marshals: The Real Story" and "Breaking Vegas.
