Pretty spot on, davighry, but, to give credit where it is both due and often overlooked, before Spielberg and before King, there was Richard Matheson.  Matheson, in the '50's brought horror and science-fiction to suburban America. 

  Good point,  Rick.  I guess I should say Spielberg and King made it so mainstream/pervasive.  And wasn't Matheson's "Little Girl Lost" on TWILIGHT ZONE supposed to have been the inspiration for POLTERGEIST?
