Background
A native of Letchworth Garden City in Hertfordshire, England,[1] Hutson now lives and writes in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. According to his own website, Hutson was expelled from school and worked a number of odd jobs from which he was fired, before becoming a professional writer.
Hutson is a die-hard supporter of Liverpool Football Club.
Career
Writer
Hutson began his writing career in the early 1980s with the horror novel The Skull. Although mainly limited to the United Kingdom in terms of publishing, Hutson received exposure in the United States after being profiled by Chas Balun in Fangoria magazine.
Film work
Hutson wrote the UK film novelization of The Terminator, which was published in early 1985. In the new millennium, Hutson returned to film adaptations with a series of novelizations of Hammer Film Productions via Random House UK.
Slugs was the basis for the film of the same title directed by Juan Piquer Simón.[2] A sequel based on Hutson's sequel novel Breeding Ground was announced, but never came into fruition.
Hutson wrote a screenplay for The Figgis Brothers (Jason Figgis & Jonathan Figgis) for their company October Eleven Pictures' feature film titled Box. Shooting was set to commence late Spring 2009.[3] The film apparently remains unproduced.
