 Salem's Lot
Salem's Lot is a TV mini series from the 1980's when they were very popular. Big budgets often meant good TV. This is such a case. James Mason heads a stellar cast that exudes creepy. Quite an enjoyable few hours.
Salem's Lot Revisited
One of the better interpretations of a King novel from book to film......not "The Shining" but a whole lot better than most of the screenplays written from King's works.
 Great Movie
This is one of the best Stephen King movies. If your looking for a classic horror this is a great movie to add to your collection. This is a bit of a long movie, like most Stephen King movies, but well worth watching. Better order soon because this movie is going to be hard to find!
Blood Curling The Scariest Vampire Movie on the Small Screen
Rewatched movie in its full entiriety 30 years later and it is just as scary today as it was when I was a little child. Please make sure you buy the full version. There is a Salem's Lot: The Movie which cuts out over 70 minutes of material and leaves the viewer disastified. The movie version even cuts out the beginning and the ending of the film, which is very crucial to the story line. In the full length version, you have more key scenes with the supporting stars including Marie Windsor, Elisa Cook, and etc. The romanatic story line is cut in the movie version between David Soul and Bonnie Bedelia, in a very early role before the snooty mother and sister in the classic "Sordid Lives." The movie version is choppy and incomplete. Don't buy it. Make sure you have the over 370 minutes version. David Soul is very handsome in this film as well. James Mason gives one of his last performances as the vampire's keeper and is very effective. The music is creepy, the vampires are almost too scary. Make sure you don't watch this alone.
Where Is The Blu Ray?
This made for TV movie is a great adaptation of Stephen King's novel. There hasn't been many. Like Misey, the Shining and the Dead Zone, this adaptation deserves an upgrade and special features. The new DVD/Blu Ray players can get particular about playing these older discs which is now extremely annoying.
Please upgrade with a new transfer and sound.
