Without even looking I can tell you this is a remake of the old Vincent Price film "The Last Man On Earth" which was a film version of Mathesons story "I Am Legend". "The Omega Man" was a remake of the Price film. The film was to have originally starred Schwartzenegger but was delayed and went through several changes before the Smith version actually got a greenlight. >From what I hear the script started out as a fairly straight retelling of Mathesons story, but ended up incorporating details similar to the Heston vehicle. Wikipedia has a fairly good article on the various versions and the differences between them. xponent Vampires?/Mutants?
