After a long delay Gary Dauberman’s adaption of the Stephen King vampire classic is hitting the small screen in October. Production has been fraught and was due to hit cinemas a couple of years ago until it was pulled. With a run time of two hours rumour has it character development is lacking. Let’s face it, Salem’s Lot is a story that needs a mini series or a split movie like It.
Now everyone knows I loved the book and original Tobe Hooper mini series. It terrified me then and just seeing the new images from the 2024 version has unnerved and excited me. I am so glad they kept the vampire kid Glick scratching at the window but at 55 years young, I swear I am under my quilt and plugging my ears having seen the new photos.
This new version stars Alfre Woodard, Lewis Pullman, Mackenzie Leigh, Spencer Treat Clark, Bill Camp and John Benjamin Hickey to name but a few. It hits HBO Max in October. Enjoy the photos and fingers crossed we get terrified once more.
