Robert Bloch has more than a few claims to fame – he was a member of the Lovecraft Circle, a group of writers who first corresponded with the legendary H. P. Lovecraft, and then continued his writing style in the Cthulhu world. Another thing he is known for is writing three classic Star Trek episodes: Catspaw, What Little Girls Are Made of? and Wolf in the Fold which were the Halloween, weird android duplicate and Jack the Ripper episodes.
