Apart from Rod Serling, screenwriter Richard Matheson wrote more teleplays for the cult classic The Twilight Zone than any other writer. Many of these episodes became the series' most acclaimed and most frequently aired. Published here for the first time are eight original scripts. Each is preceded by an introduction and commentary that lends insight into Matheson's creative process, how he felt about the adaptation of his scripts, and his relationship with Rod Serling. Information about the fate of two "lost" scripts and suggestions for further reading and viewing are also included. Volume Two includes the final six complete Twilight Zone scripts Matheson wrote for the show.
Praised by Stephen King as "a very talented journalist," Stanley Wiater is a widely acclaimed observer of the dark side of popular culture. He has interviewed more major horror and suspense authors, filmmakers, actors, and artists than any other journalist. He is the creator of "Dark Dreamers" (available on DVD at Amazon), a television series profiling these personalities, which has been broadcast in Canada and Great Britain.
Rue Morgue magazine has hailed him as "the top horror journalist in North
America for the past twenty-five years." He has won the coveted Bram Stoker
Award three times, and been nominated for the International Horror Guild, Hugo, Rondo, Eisner, Harvey, and Readercon awards. A collection of his short stories, "Intimate Strangers," has been dramatized and is available as an audio book at Amazon.
