So we just had to do an episode about his work.
But where to begin?
Rather than attempt (and fail) to cover everything, we picked a handful of intriguing works to review, and add in a couple of personal favourites.
Discussed in this episode:
- Richard Matheson's short story "Little Girl Lost" from Amazing Stories, 1953
- Matheson's Twilight Zone episode based on that short story
- Matheson's Twilight Zone episode "A World of Difference"
- Duel, a film written by Matheson from his short story, and directed by a young Steven Spielberg
- Matheson's time-travel novel Bid Time Return, and the movie he wrote based on it, Somewhere in Time
- Real Steel, a robotic boxer film based on a Matheson story and Twilight Zone episode
- German Netflix series The Signal
- Richard Matheson has three talented writer children: Richard Christian Matheson, Ali Marie Matheson, and Chris Matheson
