[edit] Sorcery

California Sorcery is a collection of fiction from "The Group" (California writers including Ray Bradbury, Harlan Ellison, and Robert Bloch who were responsible for the bulk of the Twilight Zone scripts). The book has an overview of the development of the group, with biographical details on each member provided there and, in brief, before that member's story.

Wasn't "Duel" a TV movie? --squadfifteen, 18/10/05

[edit] Time article made a mistake

Richard Corliss of Time Magazine wrote the movie review of I am Legend, called Will Smith Gets Lost in His Legend. In this article Corliss writes:

Some of Matheson's TV fables — the Twilight Zone story about the gremlin on the airplane wing, the Tales of Terror jape about a Zuni fetish doll chasing Karen Black around her apartment — linger at the base of many a viewer's spine, three or four decades after they were first aired.

I emailed Corliss and said:

Incorrect movie listed: Trilogy of Terror NOT Tales of Terror ...copy-editor missed this one. I was adding the information to wikipedia and noticed this. I guess wikipedia isn't the only organization which has mistakes. (See the Encyclopedia Dramatic vs. Wikipedia study, which showed Wikipedia was more accurate) But unlike wikipedia, I am unable to correct this glaring mistake.
