1961

Eric Red (born Eric Joseph Durdaller; February 16, 1961) is an American screenwriter, director and novelist, best known for writing the horror films The Hitcher and Near Dark, as well as writing and directing Cohen and Tate.

Red was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of Nancy (née Pickhardt) and Cornelius Gerard Durdaller.

1983

He attended the AFI Conservatory and graduated in 1983.

The first film written by Red was Gunmen's Blues, a short he produced and directed while a student at the AFI Conservatory.

He went broke trying to get national distribution for the film and had to drive a cab in New York City for a year to recoup.

2000

Following a car accident, Red crashed his truck into a crowded bar in Los Angeles on May 31, 2000, resulting in the deaths of two patrons.

After the incident, Red apparently exited his vehicle and attempted suicide by slitting his own throat with a piece of broken glass.

Red survived the incident, was taken to the hospital under an alias and was released weeks later.

No criminal charges were brought against Red, but a jury in a civil suit awarded monetary damages to the families of the victims.

The suit, which awarded over a million dollars to the families of the two men killed in the accident, was appealed to state and federal courts, which confirmed the original jury finding.
