Stephen King is the king of horror on the page, but Gary Dauberman is ruling the horror world on screen. He’s a longtime writer for The Conjuring Universe, and he’s making his directorial debut with Annabelle Comes Home, which he also wrote. Dauberman was one of the writers adapting Uncle Stevie’s novel IT for the big screen in 2017, and that film was a massive hit. He’s back as the lone credited screenwriter for IT: Chapter 2, which comes out this September. Dauberman was also recently announced to be writing the script for the new screen adaptation of King’s book ‘Salem’s Lot.
