Ya say you've never heard of RICHARD MATHESON? Have you ever seen the movies THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, or THE OMEGA MAN? They were all based on Matheson's creepy horror novel, I AM LEGEND, which was finally filmed under Matheson's original title, starring WILL SMITH. Or how about the films THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, or THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE, or WHAT DREAMS MAY COME, or SOMEWHERE IN TIME, or A STIR OF ECHOES, or REAL STEEL, or THE BOX, or COLD SWEAT? All based upon novels or short stories previously written by RICHARD MATHESON. Did you enjoy the EDGAR ALLAN POE movie adaptions by American International Pictures of HOUSE OF USHER, or THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM, or TALES OF TERROR, or THE RAVEN? All adaptations were written by RICHARD MATHESON. Matheson also wrote the original novelette DUEL, which was released on television in 1971 as STEVEN SPIELBERG's first film; and Matheson also wrote 16 episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, and many of his short stories were adapted into episodes of the original STAR TREK, and NIGHT GALLERY, and THE OUTER LIMITS, and THRILLER, and THE NIGHT STALKER, and THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR, plus many, many more classic television programs.
