I Am Legend

July 8th, 2008 by James Bridle

A creepy bedtime story for you: the first episode of Richard Matheson’s classic post-Apocalyptic Vampire tale I Am Legend [MP3] from BBC7. Forget the recent Will Smith remake, or even Charlton Heston’s Omega Man - this is the real thing. If I was on Watchification I’d have been adding all the British B-Movie stuff BBC4 has been featuring, but you’ll have to be satisfied with this classic pulp instead. You can catch the rest of the episodes here.

Listen: [MP3] [Real]

    Blimey, that was chilling stuff. And now I realise I’ve missed the second episode. Bugger.

    BBC Programmes is slightly counter-intuitive, but episodes are still available here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cjzpf

    I’ve been listening since your post and I’m now officially totally obsessed. I travel to work amongst the vampires…
