Richard Matheson who wrote such great stories as "I Am Legend", "The Shrinking Man" and many more has died. Matheson was a driving force behin such TV shows as "The Twilight Zone", "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and often wrote some of the best episodes of those shows.
He also penned films such as "The Raven" and "Comedy of Terrors" for director Roger Corman. His novel "I Am Legend" was made into a great 1964 horror film starring Vincent Price called "The Last Man On Earth" and was the inspiration for George Romero's "Night Of The Living Dead".
They don't have writers like Richard anymore and he will be forever missed by people like me who grew up watching his stories on TV. RIP.
