520 |a Richard Matheson's 1954 novel, I Am Legend, has inspired three official, and other unofficial, film adaptations. Hollywood has, however, consistently altered key elements, severely distorting the novel's themes. Where I Am Legend is predictive of the anti-authoritarianism of the counterculture, Matheson's later work aligns closely with spiritual elements of the so-called New Age. This article will show how Hollywood adaptations increasingly promote distinctly Christian symbolism in opposition to Matheson's own spirituality, nascent in I Am Legend.
