[P.O.E.]

Matheson wrote many of the classics.

Figures CNN would omit mention of Charlton Heston's "Omega Man", but why leave out Vincent Price's "Last Man on Earth"?

I'll have to grab my Omega Man soundtrack CD to play in the car today. Truly music to shoot zombies by. ;-)

Thanks for the stories, Mr. Matheson.

He also wrote The Shrinking Man (filmed as Incredible Shrinking Man and remade in the 80s as a comedy with Lily Tomlin) and last I heard he and his son were working on the script for another remake.

Oh Wow...this is SO wierd.

I just got the Omega man from Netflix and watched it (and all the special features) last night!

I really liked the movie, and the 70’s Cars were a hoot.

The 70’s FASHIONS? Eyew! LOL!

Charleton Heston was amazing, especially since much of the movie was soliloquy.

I believe he wrote “Duel”, a gripping movie with almost no dialogue.
