Matheson said Heston was ideal casting but the film is so different from his book to be almost unrelated.
A shame since we get to see empty streets of Los Angeles as he drives around. In the Vampire Cinema, David Pirie quotes Heston as saying the film was disappointing to him--and there is a story that Heston and Orson Welles discussed the book while making Touch of Evil.
TLMOE is much closer to the book but the vampires are not scary.
An interesting thing with the Price version is to see him running around with a gun shooting people.
You don't normally think of him gunning people down in an urban environment.
