RickPolizzi is an American television producer and author. He is the creator of the book Spin Again, animation producer on the successful television series The Simpsons, and creator of Los Angeles based Halloween haunt Boney Island.
In the late 1970s, Polizzi began working in the film department of WWL-TV in New Orleans, Louisiana.[1] He moved to Los Angeles, California in 1981 and soon after, graduated from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Frustrated by the lack of family friendly Halloween attractions in the Los Angeles area, Polizzi began to construct a display of his own in the front lawn of his Sherman Oaks, California home.[5] Boney Island was a show, set with a carnival theme, which was mostly composed of animated skeleton parts made from plastic. By the time Boney Island had its last showing in 2007, it had become a large success.[6]
