Guy Endore

Samuel Guy Endore (4 July 1900 - 12 February 1970), born Samuel Goldstein and also known as Harry Relis, was an American novelist and screenwriter. During his career he produced a wide array of novels, screenplays, and pamphlets, both published and unpublished. A cult favorite of fans of horror, he is best known for his novel The Werewolf of Paris, which occupies a significant position in werewolf literature, much in the same way that Dracula does for fans of vampires. Endore is also known for his left-wing novel of the Haitian Revolution, Babouk: The Story of A Slave. He was nominated for a screenwriting Oscar for The Story of G.I. Joe (1945), and his novel Methinks the Lady . . . (1946) was the basis for Ben Hecht's screenplay for Whirlpool (1949).

    We must all die. There’s nothing terrible about death. But to live on after death, a soul, earthbound, a vampire—you don’t wish any such fate for your beloved.
    Guy Endore, and Tod Browning. Prof. Zelenn (Lionel Barrymore)

    There is no more foul or relentless enemy of man in the occult world than this dead-alive creature spewed up from the grave.
    Guy Endore, and Tod Browning. Prof. Zelenn (Lionel Barrymore)

    If you wake up dead in the morning, your body drained dry of blood, you’ll be afraid of the dark.
    Guy Endore, and Tod Browning. Chauffeur (Franklyn Ardel)
