Summary
We're back! Today in this special bonus episode, we continue down the trail of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend with the first of its three adaptations: 1964's The Last Man on Earth, starring Vincent Price. We'll compare the movie with the novella, and talk about the urge to soften the blow. We'll discuss Matheson's favorites versus Price's favorites, and we'll ask ourselves the question we least expected: Vampires, in a church? This and more, in this bonus look at The Last Man on Earth! Join us there, at the end of the world. The Last Man on Earth is in the public domain, and is available on DVD and Blu-Ray, and in various streaming services.
