    Richard Matheson RIP



    A great writer has left us. He wrote 16 Twilight Zones and a Star Trek for starters.

    Wow...he wrote some of my favorite TZ eps. RIP Richard. You were very talented.

        First Bradbury, now Matheson.
        Very few of the greats left. Pretty soon there will only be Harlan Ellison left, picking fights with the rest of the world...

          I Am Legend is such a great story, and what 3-4 film versions of it? Plus The Incredible Shrinking Man, another classic. He also wrote the original Kolchak Night Stalker film too, I believe. What a fantastic writer, RIP.

            I find this news crushing. "I am Legend" is one of my favorite works of fiction along with "Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Time Machine".

              Aw man. What a bibliography this guy had. Just looking at his IMDB listings shows how involved he was in much of what we love here.
