Honestly, I never even heard of Richard Matheson. Sure, I've seen many of these movies, and heard the stories in one form or another, but I had no idea they were even related to a common writer.

Well, he WAS one of the 3 major writers of The Twilight Zone AND I Am Legend was made into 3 movies, the first starring Vincent Price!
