DESCRIPTION:Friday, Dec. 29.  7 PM.  Fools Foundation.  Admission: $5.00\n\nShiny 
 Object and Fools Foundation present the Vincent Price classic, "The Last 
 Man on Earth."\n\nThis is the first film adaptation of Richard Matheson's 
 "I Am Legend" from 1964 (the second being Heston's "The Omega Man," and 
 there's a third coming from Warner Brothers next year) starring Vincent 
 Price.  In this, Price plays a scientist who is the last survivor on Earth 
 after a plague has turned the rest of the population into zombie-vampires. 
 He manages to escape contagion due to a jungle virus he once had which 
 makes him immune to the disease.  He spends his time clearing bodies, 
 killing the zombie-vampires, reinforcing his house against them, and 
 reserves time to cling to what was a normal lifestyle prior to the plague.  
 \n\nThis film was an admitted direct influence on Romero's "Night of the 
 Living Dead" (he actually stated that Night was a "rip-off" of Last Man): 
 the Red Scare commentary, the documentary style of filmmaking, the grim and 
 pessimistic ending  - it's all found in "The Last Man on Earth."  Also 
 interesting, Price plays a character which goes against his typically 
 typecast roles, and quite effectively - humanism, sadness, despair are all 
 here.  \n\nWe plan to run the original widescreen version of this film 
 (it's usually seen in a full-screen pan and scan version).\n\n\n\n
