(I think George Romero was profoundly influenced by the 1964 Vincent Price movie "The Last Man on Earth", a pretty faithful adaptation of Matheson's 1958 novel.)<br /><br />His novel "The Shrinking Man" became one of the best sf movies of the '50s, dealing intelligently with important themes. (Deserves a serious remake.)<br /><br />He also was responsible for many of the best episodes and movies on tv, including "Duel" and one of my favorites, "The Night Stalker".<br /><br />Total pro.Manuel Royalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392229225958688128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624614653537130690.post-19376288094591570552013-06-25T11:34:03.793-07:002013-06-25T11:34:03.793-07:00Can't wait to read it, Stephen!Can't wait to read it, Stephen!sandra seamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786095189231150008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624614653537130690.post-21380646103816463152013-06-25T06:47:58.822-07:002013-06-25T06:47:58.822-07:00Hey Sandra,
