Harlan Ellison did write some creepy stuff. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. Eeeeeeee. Worms, thick & ropey. Bleech. I also recall him running with a street gang as a youth and writing about it. Been a long time. Good writer that's a improbable fit for TV. Might have to go revisit some of that.
He was the one who wrote Babylon 5 the first couple of seasons. Dark, dreary future is all he could see.
