Tom Baker (Screenwriter)

Tom Baker is a British screenwriter. He co-wrote 'Witchfinder General' (1968) [http://www.britmovie.co.uk/genres/horror/filmography/008.html] and 'The Sorcerers' [http://www.scifilm.org/reviews3/sorcerers.html] (1967) with childhood friend Michael Reeves, the director of the films who died of a drug overdose at the age of 24.

The Witchfinder General was based on a novel by Ronald Bassett and the script has been criticised for ignoring historical accuracy in its portrayal of witch hunts in England at the time of the civil war [http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/H/history/e-h/film-witchfindergeneral.html] . The Sorcerers was based on a story by John Burke [http://www.thespinningimage.co.uk/cultfilms/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=162] .

Baker appeared in Andrew Starke's documentary about Reeves, the 'Blood Beast" [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330067/] in 1999.
