Biography
David Berenbaum is an American screenwriter whose filmography defined early-2000s family entertainment. He wrote Elf (2003), a holiday staple that became a generational touchstone, alongside The Haunted Mansion (2003), Zoom (2006), The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008), and Strange Magic (2015). Born January 2, 1986, in the US, Berenbaum works as both screenwriter and actor. His life-path number 9 suggests a creative arc shaped by synthesis and completion—pulling disparate tones (comedy, fantasy, horror-lite) into cohesive narratives. Screenwriters typically balance source-material adaptation with original voice; Berenbaum's credits span both adaptations (Spiderwick, Haunted Mansion) and original premises (Strange Magic), anchoring fantastical concepts in accessible emotional logic.
