RIP PAT FIELDER 1929-2019

An excellent screenwriter has passed away.

Fans of fantastic cinema of the 1950's know who Fielder was. She wrote the screenplay for some of the greatest 50's sci-fi and monster movies ever made.

Those films are "The Vampire" 1957, "Monster That Challenged The World" 1957, "The Flame Barrier" 1958 and "Return Of Dracula" 1958. She also penned several episodes of TV shows including "Policewoman" and "Wagon Train".

Another film she wrote was 1962's "Geronimo". Fielder was a very talented woman who was often overlooked in her day because female screenwriters were rare in Hollywood, but she left all of us kids who loved fantastic cinema something to remember for all of our lives.

She passed away on May 21st at the age of 90.
