Merv Griffin interviews horror icon and Renaissance man Vincent Price in 1979.

I always thought the 1964 Price film, The Last Man on Earth, a low-budget Italian production of Richard Matheson’s novel I  Am Legend, was the most haunting screen realization of the author’s vision, despite far glitzier versions with A-listers Charlton Heston and Will Smith. Matheson did not feel the same and asked for his name to be removed from the credits.
