Richard Matheson: A Great American Writer, Part 3

From July 2013: Mark Dawidziak, television critic for the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, joins Ed in remembering novelist and screenwriter Richard Matheson. Mark not only covered Matheson’s career in television, but also edited three collections of the works of Richard Matheson, all of which are available through Gauntlet Press. Topics this segment include why the vampires that Matheson wrote about were really zombies; the direct path from Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend to Night of the Living Dead to The Walking Dead; Matheson's frequent creative jousts with Dan Curtis; and how Matheson was a much funnier person that most people realize.  .  Want to advertise/sponsor our show?
