Finnell has produced several horror-comedy films, particularly with the director Joe Dante. Finnell worked for the American producer Roger Corman.

His first films were Avalanche (1978), Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979) and Airplane!, in which he was listed in the end credits as "generally in charge of a lot of things". Finnell then producedThe Howling in 1981 and Gremlins in 1984.
