Richard P. Rubinstein is an American film and television producer, who has worked mainly in the science fiction and horror genres.
In 1995, Rubinstein, who was still head of the Laurel division, left to found his own, smaller production company, New Amsterdam Entertainment in New York City.
Rubinstein also executive produced Romero's 1984–1988 anthology horror series Tales from the Darkside, which was based on the success of Creepshow.
After Tales from the Darkside ended, Rubinstein executive produced the similar anthology show Monsters, which ran from 1988 to 1991, this one without involvement from Romero.
In 1987, via Laurel Entertainment, Rubinstein executive-produced its sequel, Creepshow 2, this time based on King's stories but written by Romero.
In the 1980s, two anthology horror series that Rubinstein executive-produced, Tales from the Darkside and Monsters, included episodes based on short stories by King.
The 1990 anthology horror film Tales from the Darkside: The Movie also included a chapter based on a short story by King.
