Richard Matheson

Fantasia, beldurrezko literatura eta zientzia-fikzioaren generoak landu zituen, nagusiki *I Am Legend* (1954, *Elezaharra naiz*) eleberria idazteagatik ospetsu bilakatu zen. Bere eleberrietako batzuk zinemaratuak izan ziren, eta berak ere film askotako gidoiak idatzi eta beste idazle batzuen idazlanen zinemarako egokitzapenak egin zituen.
