Yes, the Smith version isn't that good but the one starring Charleton Heston is a classic- it's called The Omega Man.
I love The Omega Man! I saw that back in 1971 when it first came out on a double bill with another movie; it may have been Escape From the Planet of the Apes! Ah, those were the days!

I have never read Dan Simmons, must put on my ever expanding 'to buy' list. has anybody ever read Richard Laymon? i read a couple a little bit graphic in terms of sex. i have read the haunting of hill house. and saw the re-make, i think liam neeson was in it.

1.Pet Sematary (I reread it 2 years ago and it made me more scared than in the 80's.)
2.Salem's Lot ( I haven't read a better vampire novel since I been reading-brilliant.)
3.I got this book in 1979 as a cheap paperback from Woolworth's-John Wyndham writing as John Beynon, 'Wanderers of time'.

Wasn't the 'Last Man on Earth' movie with Vincent Price? I think it was based on a Richard Matheson Book-I am Legend. Mark.

That movie was called "The Omega Man"...and I think there were as many as 3, possibly 4 movies based on Matheson's story...the latest the one with Will...Something. I forget his...Smith...Will Smith.

So what was the "Last Man on Earth", Vincent Price was in it?

I'm not sure...I'd have to use a search engine to discover the truth of that. Oops! Have I explained that I am aging? Heh! Yes...Vincent Price/Last Man on Earth...based on Matheson...and the other, Omega Man, had Charleston Heston in the lead roll...then there was the Will Smith movie from a couple three years ago...and I think there was still another.

The Best is Vincent Price's movie.
