I Am Legend

On this very late edition of Journey to Wonder, Chris and Joe dive into one of the original Zombie...errr..Vampire...uhh...Zompire...stories with Richard Matheson's 1954 post apocalyptic novel I am Legend. We discuss the story, how it served as the origin for some of the more modern post apocalypic stories of today and more. We then dive into not one, not two but three movie adaptations of this story: The Last Man on Earth (1964) starring Vincent Price, The Omega Man (1976) starring Charlton Heston and I Am Legend (2007) starring Will Smith. All of these films have their own unique take on the original story and as always we are happy and eagar to provide our opinions on which did it well and which did it poorly. Next time, our post-Haloween Haloween episode will cover the 1976 Anne Rice novel, Interview with the Vampire along with the 1994 film adaptation starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
