About Daniel DiManna
Daniel DiManna is a writer at Screen Rant, and hails from little Sylvania, Ohio. A graduate of Lourdes University with a degree in Fine Arts, Daniel’s hobbies/passions include film history, reading, fiction/non-fiction writing, sculpting, gaining weight, and adding more toys, posters, books, model kits, DVDs, screen-used props, and other ephemera to his already shamefully monumental collection of Godzilla/movie monster memorabilia. When he's not writing about film, he can be heard discussing it on a number of podcasts. His original fiction can also be found in publications including Kaiju Ramen Magazine. His life goals include a return trip to Japan, getting a podcast off the ground, finishing (at least one of) his novel, and yes, buying even more monster toys.
