I assumed it was a fantasy, and as I have told people, I would not write it today, and I would not have written it for a long time in the past, simply because I could not have believed it with what I know now, having been a parent and having raised four children.

Richard Matheson - Tabula Rasa: Writing, History and Horror
Matheson has provided two effective examples of a woman fighting for her life against a doll (with whatever rationalisation), the episode The Invaders of The Twilight Zone (1961), featuring Agnes Moorehead and no dialogue, and the last segment in the effective Trilogy of Terror (1974).. . .
Along with Jack Finney's The Body Snatchers in 1955, and Shirley Jackson and Ray Bradbury (though the best of each's novels were still a number of years away), he was redefining the horror genre into a more immediate concern.

Speaking of the Zone he also wrote the famous episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, set in a modern airplane.

But print never proved a financially rewarding medium for him (his first anthology Born of Man and Woman was a bit of a disaster, really, even before the flood and subsequent fire) and, describing himself as a visual writer, seeing his short stories or novels on little screens in his mind, it seemed natural for him to enter the cinematic world.
. . .
And while his work in the timeless setting of the Edgar Allen Poe story has gained him great esteem, such things are not his speciality (the first of the Poe movies was the 1961 House of Usher for Roger Corman, starring Vincent Price, which became a huge hit -- for a summer it put on a double bill with Psycho -- and thus they did more of them.

Richard B. Matheson Biography - Yahoo! Movies
At about the same time, he also began contributing scripts to the iconic anthology series "The Twilight Zone" (CBS, 1959-1964).. . .
In recognition for his contributions to genre fiction, film and television, Matheson was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2010, alongside the likes of Ray Harryhausen and Isaac Asimov.
. . .
The writer next provided his own screen adaptation for "The Legend of Hell House" (1973), a modern twist on the haunted house tale that was based on his 1971 novel Hell House and starred Roddy McDowell and Clive Revill as psychic investigators delving into the mysteries of the eponymous dwelling.
. . .
His fiction work proved to be a nearly inexhaustible well of inspiration in Hollywood, as exemplified by feature films like the time-traveling romance "Somewhere in Time" (1980), the supernatural murder mystery "Stir of Echoes" (1999), and "I Am Legend" (2007), the third big screen adaptation of his novella of the same name.
. . .
His 1954 novella I Am Legend, a chilling story of a lone human trying to survive in a world populated entirely by vampires, was transferred to film 10 years later in the form of "The Last Man on Earth" (1964).
. . .
After making a deal to write the screen adaptation of his novel for "The Incredible Shrinking Man" (1957), he quickly made a name for himself working on a cycle of Edgar Allen Poe films with director Roger Corman and as a contributing writer on Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone" (CBS, 1959-1964).
