Charles Beaumont Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Charles Beaumont (January 2, 1929 – February 21, 1967) was a prolific American author of speculative fiction, including short stories in the horror and science fiction subgenres. He is remembered as a writer of classic Twilight Zone episodes, such as "The Howling Man", "Miniature", "Printer's Devil", and "Number Twelve Looks Just Like You", but also penned the screenplays for several films, among them 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, The Intruder and The Masque of the Red Death. Novelist Dean R. Koontz has said, "Charles Beaumont was one of the seminal influences on writers of the fantastic and macabre." Beaumont is also the subject of a documentary, Charles Beaumont: The Short Life of Twilight Zone's Magic Man, by Jason V Brock.
For a time in the Fifties, Beaumont wrote movie reviews for The Magazine of Fantasy of Science Fiction. In of his columns, he panned both Not of This Earth (1957) and Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957), both directed by his future employer, Roger Corman.

His early death was a particularly shocking and distressing one - he suffered from a degenerative aging disease which gave him, at age 38, the appearance of a centenarian. It has been speculated that he was suffering simultaneously from Pick's Disease and early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. A busy and prolific writer for most of his adult life, he found it virtually impossible to work in his last three years, although friends sometimes completed work for him without credit.
