  Charles Beaumont - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Charles Beaumont (January 2, 1929 – February 21, 1967) was a prolific U.S. author of fantasy and science fiction short stories who frequently wrote for The Twilight Zone TV series and scripts for such films as The Masque of the Red Death.
Beaumont was an outgoing, spontaneous person, prone to taking trips out of the country at a moment's notice.
Once explained to Harlan Ellison that the trick to surviving in Hollywood is to cultivate the ability to climb a hill of dung while retaining the ability to smell and enjoy a delicate flower sprouting at the top of the smelly pile.

 White Zombie (1932)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Beaumont’s growing despair over the zombie Madeline leads him to implore Legendre to change her back, to restore her soul; and Legendre agrees, offering Beaumont a glass of wine so that the two of them may toast “the future”.
Beaumont’s visit to Legendre takes him through the mill itself, and he is shaken by what he sees there – enough so to react with unconcealed disgust when a smiling Legendre suggests that he, too, employ zombie labour on his estate.
Almost certainly it was under conditions such as these that Charles Beaumont rose to his position of wealth and power, which lends an interesting moral shade of grey to his instinctive recoil at the thought of zombie labour.

 Roger Anker interview by William Simmons
In addition, supplemental essays by Richard Matheson, Chris Beaumont (the author’s son), and evocative cover art round out a collection that is as much a story behind the stories of Charles Beaumont as it is a collection of one of last century’s leading dreamers of paranormal darkness and enchantment.
Tomerlin told me that Beaumont was marvelous at talking people into doing things that they had not thirty seconds before ever dreamed they wanted to do, and suddenly discovered that it was their life-long ambition to do this thing; and the next thing you knew, you’d be off and away doing that.
Beaumont’s imagination and art came from the influences of Poe, Baum, and Burroughs, all of whom he’d discovered while bedridden with spinal meningitis at the age of twelve.

 The SF Site Featured Review: California Sorcery
When Beaumont died tragically at 34 of the early onset of Alzheimer's, "The Group" had lost the hub of its wheel and the members drifted apart, but a little bit of the "Twilight Zone sensibility" that had characterized many of their fictional works lived on in each of them.
Charles E. Fritch's "Different" is a new story along the lines of the classic second season Twilight Zone episode "The Eye of the Beholder," just with a bit nastier ending.
What is more unfortunate, however, is that Charles Beaumont is represented by "The Wages of Cynicism," a fairly weak and conventional night-in-the-cemetery-on-a-bet story, very much unlike the best of his work.
