Edward Lucky McKee[1] (born November 1, 1975) is an American director, writer, and actor, largely known for the 2002 cult filmMay.[2] He is best known for his work in horror films.
McKee optioned Jack Ketchum's novel The Lost and produced the film adaptation directed by Chris Sivertson. McKee also adapted Ketchum's Red, and co-directed the film, which premiered out of competition at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.[4] Shooting was halted when Red was almost completed, with McKee as director, in December, 2006. Shooting resumed in Maryland following a hiatus of more than six months, with a different director, Norwegian Trygve Allister Diesen. No explanation has been offered for the shared directing credit.
In 2013, a remake of All Cheerleaders Die was written and directed by McKee and Chris Sivertson.[5][6] He also directed and wrote the segment "Ding Dong" of the anthology filmTales of Halloween.[7]
