John W. Allman
John W. Allman has spent more than half his life as a professional journalist and/or writer, but he’s loved movies for as long as he can remember. Good movies, awful movies, movies that are so gloriously bad you can’t help but champion them. In 2009, he started a review column dedicated to the genre films that often get overlooked and interviews with cult cinema favorites like George A. Romero, Bruce Campbell and Dee Wallace. In 2016, he began reviewing films for Creative Loafing Tampa Bay.
