Chris Mentillo

Chris Mentillo is a “True King of Horror.” Practically his entire life -- macabre followed, and so he had no other choice, but to get involved. Therefore, it only made “perfect sense” for him to write, research, produce, create, and share horror stories, through music, movies, and his books -- starting first with his own life experiences.“No matter what I tried to do or become in life, the macabre followed me everywhere I went: In my house, in my head, in my nightmares, on the roughest streets, in the most desolate corn fields, to even areas where many mortals refuse to go.” Until finally one day it dawned on me, and then it all clicked – why fight it.” - Chris Mentillo Chris Mentillo, Ph.D., aka "Doc Mentillo," a best-selling, -- award-winning horror writer, and producer. He was born in Auburn, New York, while he grew up in Skaneateles, New York. Chris Mentillo then moved to the Boston, Massachusetts New England Area, where he finished receiving his formal education at Bradford College in Massachusetts. Later he became a graduate of, “The Massachusetts Criminal Justice Training Council Center” in Boston, Massachusetts, which now hails as part of Northeastern University Massachusetts program. He then went back to receive his research doctorate degree in psychological counseling, and criminal psychology and studied at Palmer 5 building at Deaconess Hospital, Longwood Medical Center Psychiatric Department in Boston, Massachusetts.Plagued with horrific nightmares during his tenure in New England, he began writing about his real-life spiritual and paranormal experiences while documenting them in his personal journal. These documents also consisted of the author's bizarre dreams. Some of the "true occurrences" he later recorded from literature became available on his radio show broadcasts. However, for some reason he officially only published a portion of them. This later lead to him writing about true-crime mixed with paranormal horror, and the supernatural for which he believes all intertwine.Additionally, Chris Mentillo has written movie scripts, songs, and over several best-selling books, which usually fall into the supernatural horror genre or the Macabre. Other Authors such as H. P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, and Thomas Ligotti also used macabre atmosphere in their works.
