Do all these jokers get the "Original Material by" credit???  That's what I'm thinking.

Tom McGowan and Tom Rowe would be "Original Material by". But while there is not a lot of information, the others may be "Writer", if they wrote the story specifically for the movie.

Quoting Staid S Barr:

If the credits are what is in the OP, the others would certainly NOT be writers. They specifically wrote a story "BASED ON A STORY BY:" the other 2 people. The Writer credit is to be used only for the specific credit of Writer or Written By.

Technically, none of them should be credited at all since the Story credit is not in the table of approved credits, however we have been including that type of credit as OMB for quite some time. If they were to be credited by anything other than OMB (and I'm not suggesting they should) it would probably be more closely Screenwriter than anything else, since there is an OMB credit for McGowan and Rowe.
