Richard Matheson: RIP to a real legend

[Greg Cox]

FYI: TCM is airing "The Incredible Shrinking Man" on Sunday, July 7.

(As discussed in the TCM thread.)

Back when I was in college "Last Man on Earth" was shown on TV late night Saturday. Probably as part of a horror movie series hosted by a syndicated guy known as the "ghoul".

Many of us watched, each in various states of altered reality.

For months afterwards, the dorm joke was to bang on someones door (usually at some obscene hour) and say; "Morgan.............come out."

This one really Hurts. Another great I will never meet.

Honestly, I'm glad to see that Richard's passing is getting the recognition it deserves. I've been spending the evening reading all the glowing tributes and obituaries that are springing up on-line--and debating which DVD I want to rewatch first: SOMEWHERE IN TIME or THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE?

Hell House most definately. Roddy McDowell as a hero finally.
