Richard Matheson played a major role in the world of Horror/Sci-Fi Cinema. With just one work, he put around a dozen films in motion. That work: 'I Am Legend.'
This book led to a number of films, including The Last Man on Earth, I Am Legend (with Will Smith), The Omega Man, I Am Omega (Hi, Asylum!) and Romero's Dead Series.
