He adapted his 1971 brusk story "Duel" every bit a screenplay directed past Steven Spielberg for the television motion picture Duel that year.

The movie Cold Sweat was based on his novel Ride the Nightmare, and Les seins de slippery ("Icy Breasts") was based on his novel Someone is Haemorrhage.

Early on life [edit]

Matheson was born in Allendale, New Jersey, to Norwegian immigrants Bertolf and Fanny Matheson. They divorced when he was 8, and he was raised in Brooklyn, New York, by his mother. His early writing influences were the pic Dracula (1931), novels by Kenneth Roberts, and a poem which he read in the newspaper Brooklyn Eagle,^[2] where he published his outset short story at age eight.^[3] He entered Brooklyn Technical Loftier School in 1939, graduated in 1943, and served with the Ground forces in Europe during World War Two; this formed the footing for his 1960 novel The Beardless Warriors.^{[2] [4]} He attended the Missouri School of Journalism at the University of Missouri, earning his BA in 1949, then moved to California.^{[ii] [iii]}

Career [edit]

1950s and 1960s [edit]

His first-written novel, Hunger and Thirst, was ignored by publishers for several decades before eventually being published in 2010, just his short story "Born of Man and Woman" was published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Summer 1950, the new quarterly's third issue^[1] and attracted attention.^[3] It is the tale of a monstrous child chained by its parents in the cellar, cast every bit the creature'due south diary in poignantly not-idiomatic English. Subsequently that year he placed stories in the start and third numbers of Milky way Science Fiction, a new monthly.^[1] His showtime anthology of work was published in 1954.^[3] Between 1950 and 1971, he produced dozens of stories, oft blending elements of the scientific discipline fiction, horror, and fantasy genres.

He was a member of the Southern California Sorcerers in the 1950s and 1960s, which included Charles Beaumont, Ray Bradbury, George Clayton Johnson, William F. Nolan, Jerry Sohl, and others.^[5]

Several of his stories, including "Third from the Sun" (1950), "Deadline" (1959), and "Push, Push" (1970) are simple sketches with twist endings; others, like "Trespass" (1953), "Being" (1954), and "Mute" (1962) explore their characters' dilemmas over 20 or 30 pages. Some tales, such as "The Doll that Does Everything" (1954) and "The Funeral" (1955) incorporate satirical sense of humor at the expense of genre clichés, and are written in an overblown prose very unlike from Matheson's usual pared-down style. Others, like "The Examination" (1954) and "Steel" (1956), portray the moral and physical struggles of ordinary people, rather than the so nigh ubiquitous scientists and superheroes, in situations which are at once futuristic and everyday. Still others, such equally "Mad House" (1953), "The Curious Child" (1954), and perhaps about of all, "Duel" (1971), are tales of paranoia, in which the everyday environs of the present day becomes inexplicably alien or threatening. "Duel" was adjusted into the 1971 Idiot box movie of the same name.

Matheson'south showtime novel to exist published, Someone Is Haemorrhage, appeared from Lion Books in 1953.^[ane] In 1960, Matheson published The Beardless Warriors, a non-fantastic, autobiographical novel about teenage American soldiers in World War Ii. It was filmed in 1967 as The Young Warriors though most of Matheson'due south plot was jettisoned. During the 1950s he published a handful of Western stories (later collected in By the Gun); and during the 1990s he published Western novels such as Journal of the Gun Years, The Gunfight, The Memoirs of Wild Bill Hickok, and Shadow on the Sun.

His other early novels include The Shrinking Man (1956, filmed in 1957 as The Incredible Shrinking Man, once again from Matheson'due south own screenplay) and a science fiction vampire novel, I Am Legend (1954) (filmed as The Concluding Man on Earth in 1964, The Omega Homo in 1971, and I Am Legend in 2007).

Matheson wrote screenplays for several idiot box programs including the Westerns Cheyenne, Have Gun – Will Travel, and Lawman.^[6] He is about closely associated with the American TV serial The Twilight Zone, for which he wrote more than than a dozen episodes,^[half-dozen] including "Steel" (1963), "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" (1963), "Little Daughter Lost" (1962), and "Decease Ship" (1963). For all of his Twilight Zone scripts, Matheson wrote the introductory and closing statements spoken by creator Rod Serling.^[seven] He adapted five works of Edgar Allan Poe for Roger Corman's Poe serial, including Business firm of Usher (1960), The Pit and the Pendulum (1961), and The Raven (1963).^[3]

He wrote the Star Trek episode "The Enemy Within" (1966).

For Hammer Pic Productions he wrote the screenplay for Fanatic (1965; Usa title: Die! Die! My Darling!) based on the novel Nightmare past Anne Blaisdell, starring Tallulah Bankhead and Stefanie Powers; he also adapted for Hammer Dennis Wheatley's The Devil Rides Out (1968).^[3]

1970s and 1980s [edit]

In 1973, Matheson earned an Edgar Honor from the Mystery Writers of America for his teleplay for The Night Stalker, 1 of two Idiot box movies written by Matheson and directed by Dan Curtis (the other was The Night Strangler, which preceded the TV serial Kolchak: The Night Stalker). Matheson worked extensively with Curtis; the 1977 television moving picture Expressionless of Night features three stories written for the screen by Matheson — "Second Chance" (based on the story past Jack Finney); "No Such Thing as a Vampire" (based on Matheson'due south story of the same name); and "Bobby", an original script written for this omnibus movie by Matheson. "Bobby" was after refilmed with different actors equally the 2d segment of Trilogy of Terror Ii.

Iii of his short stories were filmed together equally Trilogy of Terror (1975), including "Prey" (initially published in the April 1969 issue of Playboy mag) with its famous Zuni warrior fetish doll. The Zuni fetish doll reappeared in the concluding segment of the belated sequel to the first picture, Trilogy of Terror Two.

Other Matheson novels turned into notable films in the seventies include Bid Fourth dimension Return (as Somewhere in Time), and Hell House (equally The Legend of Hell Business firm), both adapted and scripted by Matheson himself.

In the 1980s, Matheson published the novel Earthbound, wrote several screenplays for the Television receiver serial Amazing Stories, and continued to publish curt fiction.

Matheson cited specific inspirations for many of his works. Duel was derived from an incident in which he and a friend, Jerry Sohl, were dangerously tailgated by a big truck on the aforementioned twenty-four hours equally the assassination of John F. Kennedy.^[3]

According to pic critic Roger Ebert, Matheson'southward scientific approach to the supernatural in I Am Legend and other novels from the 1950s and early 1960s "anticipated pseudorealistic fantasy novels like Rosemary's Babe and The Exorcist."^[9]

Directors [edit]

After his death, several figures offered tributes to his life and work. Managing director Steven Spielberg said:

Richard Matheson's ironic and iconic imagination created seminal science-fiction stories and gave me my beginning break when he wrote the short story and screenplay for Duel. His Twilight Zones were among my favorites, and he recently worked with us on Real Steel. For me, he is in the aforementioned category as Bradbury and Asimov.^[nineteen]

Another frequent collaborator, Roger Corman said:

Richard Matheson was a shut friend and the best screenwriter I e'er worked with. I always shot his outset draft. I will miss him.^[20]
