Easy! Ray Bradbury. I read him voraciously when I was a little girl. His concepts pop up all the time in my writings and sometimes I'm not even aware that's where they came from.

Stephen King has always been a favorite. His book "On Writing" changed my life...in some respects lol. But I love, love, love Richard Matheson.

I'm sayin. I love his series. I would be so ecstatic if someone (competent) turned them into a film. Some of those situations and deaths would equal AWESOME on screen.
