Damn. He never lived to see a decent adaptation of I Am Legend.

Whatever do you mean?

This does not qualify as "decent"?



Explain yourself, good man, I demand it!!

In all seriousness, Matheson was one of those people that when you learned who he was, you were shocked to find out how many great, creative projects he was involved in. Very prolific and talented.

What's that you say? I need not explain myself, churl! If you have read the novel you will know what a decent adaptation entails!

Seriously though, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, Somewhere In Time, The Shrinking Man, Duel, Stir of Echoes, the entire zombie genre, yeah this guy has a legacy.
