Just got finished reading this short story by Richard Matheson, copywrighted in 1954. Nice!
Sounded alot like Omega Man, I thought. Could it have been the movie's inspiration?
Anyone who's read the book and seen the movie care to weigh in?
I wonder why they changed the vampires to zombies in the movie? More of a market for Sci-fi than Horror movies at the time? The book actually made the vampirism very clinical, a disease. AND a result of a nuclear war (where in the movie it was biological war... Or was it an epidemic.. I can't remeber now). So I guess they weren't THAT far off base..
Omega Man remains one of my favorite movies of the period. A little shlocky, but in a good way..
