Richard Matheson's 1954 book "I am Legend" has been translated into film three times. The second translation was the 1971 science fiction film "The Omega Man." The film starred Charleton Heston and Rosalind Cash. "The Omega Man" is my personal favorite of the three translations as it is the scariest. Perhaps I only perceive it to be so scary because I first viewed it as a child. The vampirish inhabitants of the night with the milky white skin and pale, colorless eyes were chilling to me as a child, and remain so for me as an adult. At any rate, pick up a copy of "The Omega Man: (1971) and recapture some frightening scenes from a great 70's horror/dystopian/sci fi flick.
