"The one thing about living in New England I never could stomach: all the damn vampires."
Lost Boys?
@@downeykidsno Salem's Lot
Alright, Grandpa 😂
Lost Boys definitely borrowed from Salem's Lot. Fright Night too.
I see what you did there lol
Everyone knows. If you saw this on TV in 79 ... the kid in the window was the stuff of nightmares
BOOM!!!💯👍🏾 The image of “Ralphie Glick” (actor Ron Scribner) floating outside his brother Danny’s bedroom window, had me shook for YEARS.
The Barlow jumpscare was what got me
The 1979 original Salem's Lot is still the best film!
David Soul.
David Soul!
At sixteen years old, I picked up the book. I had to get my dad to lower the drapes if I neglected to stop reading before it was dark! I tell people that Stephen King made me dread vampires, and Anne Rice made me love them.
Danny Glick was coming!!
@@EthelJung-j5w I was around 14 when I read the book. There is one line from the book that I have never forgotten. I know it from memory. It’s when Matt, the high school teacher, was talking to Ben about drugs, in general. He said that you can dip your toes in the waters of Lethe without taking a bath in it. I’ve read a lot of Stephen King books, and these type of “zingers” always amaze me.
Facts
And Stephanie Myer made us all hate them! (Us true horror fans anyway)
@@EthelJung-j5w I just posted almost the exact same thing! Love Anne Rice, Stephen King, Laurell Hamilton……just NOT twilight….that’s just all kinds of wrong.
The only book I've ever read that legitimately made me turn all the lights on in the house.
That was me with my first reading of the Shining. I couldn't read it before bed back in the 90s 😂 I slept with all the lights and the TV on for weeks.
I had nightmares, until I threw it out the window. 💀
same here! lol
Right? Though the only King book I've ever read.
Mr Barlow will enjoy you
awesome that they decided to keep this in the 1970s
Came here to say this. I was so worried they were going to make it take place in present day. It looks fantastic.
Just wish it didn't look so digital and more like a film from thr 70s
wish they put less woke characters though
@@MaxCharmed always one of these guys. What a cliché.
@@MaxCharmed what does a woke character mean? clown!
I don’t think Salem’s Lot needed a full 8 hour miniseries, but a 2 hour running time movie just does not feel like enough at all.
I think this is Stephen King’s creepiest book. There are so many scenes in the book that get under your skin. The Shining and Pet Sematary are very spooky and creepy too but Salems Lot just has such good tension throughout the book
Scariest book I've ever read, no joke
I know what you mean. Read a paperback edition when I was fourteen and it had me at the edge of my seat.
1,000%
THe graveyard scene in the book was so creepy that I still remember it in detail even though it was probably 4+ years since I read the book. And I generally dont reread books.
@Alexander-kc8oq there's so many, but mine is when they're sleeping under the trailer and omg, that baby...
I like that it's set in the '70s. It also looks like the people who made this movie have an understanding of what made the novel so memorable.
No they do not ! have you read the novel ? 99% of the trailer is added nonsense. The novel is nothing like the trailer at all.
@@hg1651Thank you. The trailer didn't give me the book feeling at all even tho I must say I like the visual of vampires on the rooftops. But "from the producers of Conjuring and IT" or whatever says it all - this will be an action packed jump scare mess
@@AlgernonBrosplitzI agree even the fates have changed you can see @1:53-1:54 Ben is staking Matt in the basement of the Marsten House
@@hg1651 Don't compare movies to books, books are usually better because you imagined it better in your mind and when the movies doesn't look like anything u imagine you get mad. Don't do it
@@Tek-Knight5592yup. I wouldn't even mind a couple of changes plot-wise if they retained the atmosphere of the novel, which is King's most atmospheric novel if you ask me. The evil of Marsten House oozes off the pages and the slow, creeping death of the sleepy small town is perfectly paced. Luckily we have two great adaptions already (yes, I'm a big fan of the Rob Lowe mini series too)
As a child in the 70’s, watched Jaws and was then afraid to go in the water, and watched Salems Lot miniserieses and was then afraid of the dark. I miss those traumatising times….
My parents took me to see Texas Chainsaw Massacre at the drive-in when I was 5. Before it started, they told me it was a true story. Parenting was very different in the 70's. It's why gen-x is a little shell shocked and checked out.
@@idrow1 Yeah, but some of us want to dive right back into it!
This movie should’ve went to theaters man 😭😭😭💔
@@ThatonehorrormoviefanLiterally says it's an original film in the trailer
@@Thatonehorrormoviefan New Max Original film
Well, better have a home theater then.
Streaming is cheaper, if u Have home theater cool bigger screen cool but it's $30 to go to the theater
@@ryanThejedi In the UK it releases in cinemas.
Snuck into the living room and saw the original when I was 7 and literally constructed a cross out of Popsicle sticks to keep under my bed for the next 6 months afterwards.
Read the book two years ago and did the same thing with LEGO.
😮😊
Watched it at 9 years old in 1979....was ruined for years! Closets, basements or just alone at night!! Love the original!! LOL.....Really hoping this one is good...great start with this trailer!! I just don't understand shelving it for 2 years?? A big theatrical release was needed here.
Mine was with matchsticks!! 😂
@@FDNY22I was 10. I couldn't sleep for days. And, I'm still afraid I'll wake up and see those eyes glowing in the dark.
Poor Father Callahan. Gonna end up in Mid-world fighting robot wolves before it's all said and done.
All things serve....
The beam
It is Ka.
Long days and pleasent nights, sai
Doesn't everyone? I worked in Lud for two years as a Pube sacrifice cleanup guy before I found my way back to the Dixie Pig.
One of my favorite movies as a kid. The boy tapping on the window always got me.
Me too!
The Master approves
But Mark wasn't a darkie
One of the creepiest movie scenes...EVER! Still gives me chills as an old dude. So glad this is finally being released!
Ruined me!! LOL.....I'm hearing that creepy music as I type. Ha!
In 1979 I was (11) years old. I watched it surrounding by (12) siblings. I shared a room with my (4) older sisters across the hallway from our (7) brothers. I still wet the bed because our bathroom had a big window facing the woods. My second viewing was in high school drama class.🙏🏻💖🌸
Can't beat 1979's Salem's Lot with David Soul ❤
James Mason! Lance Kerwin and yes, beautiful David Soul - Don't Give Up on Us Baby! I admit that the 79 version always was a bit campy to me. I am not sure I would have updated it though. I was fine with it and the book, tbh. But I am happy to watch this for free (for once!). I always have to either be forced to wait forever or pay for seemingly everything on earth, even though I pay so many gosh darned $ for all the streaming channels I have and wasted DirecTV money. hehe
@@jbjacobs9514 👍👍😁
Can't judge having only watched one 🦙

This movie needs to be at least 3 hours long for it to hit like the book hit
1 Hour and 53 🙃
Would be nice if was a series and they covered Father Callahan after he went on the bus at the end (covered in Wolves of the Cala) mostly was dissapointed with that book, but all the parts about Father Callahan was fantastic....
The David Soul, Tobe Hooper 70s, version, won't be bettered. In horror less is more. Hooper changed one notable aspect of the story. Barlow was originally a more handsome moustache character and Straker was the bald one. I'd like to see a four hour, 3 part, version of the book to do it real justice. This is Scooby Doo and jump scares with nonsense characters thrown in. Shame.
Nah. Silly length is the curse of so many modern movies. Lean and mean with tight editing. Get it down under 2.
@@davidcamp7199 for a theater experience id agree, but if it not packed with filler and fluff I think telling the whole story instead of needing to chop it up is a more enjoyable streaming experience
I just don’t know how they’re gonna tell that story in an hour and 53 minutes. The original Salem’s Lot movie from 1979 is over 3 hours.
And the 1979 one was 10x better than this rubbish looks.
Another clown. It's not a carbon copy of the book it's based on the book.
@@outpost31737 Nah, the clown was in "IT"...
@@Capri-x8m Under the circumstances and considering that we are talking Stephen King here --- that was a great comeback. Really.
@@Hernal03 Thanks :)
Things I liked:
- The crosses glow and I like that they actually repel the Vampires like a powerful force.
- The colours. Day looks warm and welcoming, while night looks cold and gloomy.
- It looks like they’re really gonna capture the isolation of The Lot once the damage is done and times running out.
- Love the look of the vampires. Almost ripped right out the book.
- Keeping Barlow hidden was smart. I really hope he looks menacing.
- The Marsten House looks great.
- Despite it being just under 2 hours long, I still think this will be a fairly good adaptation. I would’ve preferred this as a series or a 2 1/2 hour film but as long as it captures the tone, the sense of imposing dread, and nails the moments of suspense, I’m all in.
October’s gonna be good this year.
Why is Mark Petrie black? Damn Eggplants.
The nighttime scenes look cold, gloomy, AND frightening. Like something sinister is just around the corner…
@@BobbyFett3994 N.L.
So sad not in movie theater
@@Saber808because your mother demanded it 🙄
My favorite King novel. Love that they kept it in the 70s.
I just wish it looked more like the 70s and not so digital
@@masterofallgoons I get what you mean but King said the best moments feel like classic John Carpenter
@@P.S.Leviews I hope that's true and I'll definitely be watching this. I just don't care for the look of it from the trailer. Visually it looks very much like a lot of mainstream horror stuff today. Hope I'm wrong and it ends up being great. I'll definitely give it a shot.
@@masterofallgoons I really only felt that the shattering church window looked distractingly digital and I'll watch despite that. I mean, I enjoyed the original mini-series - I can certainly let a bad digital effect slide in to see a new version of this classic. :)
@@BobBrinkman I wasn't talking about the cinematography more than the effects. This looks like it's shot on a shiny new digital camera and doesn't feel like it belongs in the 70s. Which is pretty common these days but unfortunate, I think.
I remember coming home in the 90’s on a comedown from acid and my mum was watching Salems Lot. As I walked in the living room the vampire was knocking on the window in the movie. That was a great moment to head upstairs to bed and try and sleep off the horror.
I always appreciate a good use of Gordon Lightfoot. A national treasure
A Canadian national treasure
@@jeffclark5268ya beat me by one hour.🤣🇺🇸🇨🇦
They use this particular song A LOT for horror and suspense films and shows.

On Max? Are you kidding me? This should be in theatres.
It is in the UK
Be happy this is even coming out, the film almost got Batgirled

Have you been to theatres lately? Nah.
@@billygustafsson19
In Germany, cinematic release is on October 31.
I know what I'm gonna do on Halloween.
I feel like the best version of Salems Lot has already been achieved with Midnight Mass
Watch the 1979 miniseries.
Midnight Mass is a masterpiece. Then again, everything Flanagan does is a masterpiece. Can't wait for his Dark Tower series! Hope it has Father Callahan in it. It would be cool if he used the same actor.
One of the contributing factors as to why Stephen Kings' book Salem's Lot was so unervingly spooky was because it pulls back the veil on a host of secrets found in the homes of so many of the town's residents.
The Marstin house? I first read that book when I was a teeneager. But it would become years later that I discovered the possibility that the vampire Barstow's connection to the house went beyond just his attraction to it due to its horrific history- that Barstow himself- all the way from Europe- could have played a role in how Hubie Marsten, the home owner of the house, lost his friggin mind and became a violent murderer.
Never
NEVER could I have come up with such a concept.
Which is why Stephen King ranks as one of the TRUE horror masters of literacy!
If I remember right, Barlow's mocking letter to the heroes (An amazing moment of great literary villainy in how it was written) has him refer to Hubie Marsten as someone "Whose company I was never able to personally enjoy."
Apologies, I believe it's Barlow. Kurt Barlow. You are spot on otherwise!!
King himself has said Salem's Lot was more of an exercise in seeing what he could do with modern day vampires. He likened it to bouncing a tennis ball against the wall that was Stoker's Dracula to see which way the plot would go. (I paraphrased his original description found in Danse Macabre, his nonfiction overview of the horror genre and also his first account of how he writes his stories and novels).
I read this book over a decade ago. Several things stick with me, but the peek into the town's homes (ex. the young mother abusing / resenting her baby & the baby eventually turning into a vampire) was so well done.
Its the only book I've read three times. Every time I read the book I learn something new. Im going to read it for a fourth time.
Pullman’s an underrated actor and I’ll watch this just because of him.
Looking forward to seeing him bring The Sentry to the big screen
Thought he was really good in bad times at the el royale
His father, Bill is one of my favorites.
Yes same! Im 💯 watching for him!
sameee here
Now that’s a proper trailer! Mood, atmosphere, tension, and teases but not a 2 minute version of the whole thing. Pumped to see this.
The trailer looks really good and adding Gordon Lightfoot's Sundown is the chef's kiss
🤌
Not feeling that song. Sounds a little too happy and very out of place bad choice for this type of horror film.
@@roberterniso5475 Sundown is definitely not a "happy" song.
@@roberterniso5475 Sundown isn't a happy song and plenty of "happy" songs have worked well in horror movies
The mix version of Sundown is awesome! I have always loved this song; I am a purist, but I kind of like when they mix classic songs from the 70s and 60s for trailers!
I always liked how the vampires took over the empty houses during the day, and you see in the trailer that they even take refuge in the trunks of cars. It's a sleep where you can sorta thing. Makes it creepy because you know they are lurking everywhere.
It looks crap.
@@Capri-x8m I'm sure you could do better..
@@johngrizzle8826 It's Hollywood's job to do better. There's already been a remake of Salem's Lot and that wasn't good, either.
I think the car scene is from the book if I’m not mistaken? Hiding anywhere out of sunlight.
I wish they would make a version that ties Jerusalem's Lot and One for the Road into the story of Salem's Lot. It would make a heck of a miniseries.
I was 6 when the original came out. My parents let me watch it. Parenting in the 70's was wild lol.
Separated the mice from the men, though.
And the 90s. I was born in 85 and in the early 90s my parents let me rent whatever from the video store. Always went straight for the horror section and picked the coolest looking vhs sleeve haha
@@Red88Rex Same here.
Born in 78 and watched movies on Betamax and later VHS throughout the 80s and 90s.
Those cover arts were magic back then and I watched a lot of junk just because of the covers LOL
Same here - I was born in 79 and could watch whatever I wanted and read whatever I wanted. It was glorious
Not as much helicopter parenting back then.
When I read the book, I was 16 years old. If I forgot to stop reading before dark, I had to get my dad to pull down the shades! I tell people Anne Rice taught me to LOVE vampires and Stephen King taught me to fear them.
Pls what the name of the book???
@@Humphrey-h1r 'Salem's Lot.
You literally copied this comment, you hungry for likes or what? 🤡😹
@@BoBurnham69 it’s amazing. Two people can share the same thought. But hey…whatever. I made the exact same comment to my dad 6 months ago but again…whatever!
I watched this on cable TV when I was 10 years old. I found it terrifying. The original miniseries in 1979 will always remain my favorite. There are many layers to the overall story that are ingrained in my mind. Being a boy and scaring/daring each other. Small town, rural life. The love story between Ben and Susan. When he meets her in the park, Susan tilts her head and says, "Susan...Norton." I'm still in love with Bonnie Bedelia's portrayal of the character. 'Yes,' Ben said. He turned and looked at her, full in the face, for the first time. She had a very pretty face, with candid blue eyes and a high, clear, tanned forehead. 'Is this town your childhood?' he asked.
'Yes.'
Gordon Lightfoot’s Sundown just took on a whole new meaning.
Wow this is going to be another "Prey" situation where the studio had no confidence in this movie and it should have been in theaters.
And probably just as bad.
Prey was a good film better than the other modern predator films anyways
Max needs subscribers
It's in UK cinemas from 11th October.
@@justaguyonyoutube4592 let me guess, too woke right? On god, you people are exhausting.
I'm looking forward to this version. The original is one of my favorite horror movies. As a funeral director/embalmer who has spent countless nights alone in the embalming room with the deceased, the scene where Mrs. Glick starts moving on the table, still gives me the creeps.
This is the second remake of Salem's Lot since the original miniseries in 1979. Both David Soul (2024) and Lance Kerwin (2023) passed. I was lucky to meet Kerwin before he passed. The original terrified me as a kid and still does. It has such a haunting vibe to it and stellar actors. I won't say anything negative about this version-will def give it a chance but the original still stands the test of time.
Is the 2000s version good? I was worried because they are four hours long and this movie definitely won't be, I hope they don't condense it so much...
@@taciobarbosa9706 I did not like the 2000 one. The 1979 version was much better.
@@taciobarbosa9706I actually am not a fan of either version. The 1979 version got some stuff right and some wrong. The 2000s version fixed the things that the 1979 version got wrong but it screwed up the things the 1979 version got right. 🤣
Open the window, open the window!
@@daughterofolafThe mini series was genius. You're wrong!
This would have made soooooooooooooooooooo much money in the theaters
It could have been perfect as a mid October release those year…

@@har795 Joker 2 is predicted to bomb spectacularly.
@@theushersden predicted
@@har795 Have you read the Joker reviews, lol. That will flop.
18 years old when Salem's Lot came out. Had read that, Carrie and the Shining before realizing it was the same author. From that point on I bought everything he wrote. Honestly, I just wish they'd do limited series for his books. A movie is just too damn short to bring justice to a King novel.
True story…so when Gordon Lightfoot passed Steven King tried to pay him tribute by quoting a portion of Sundown. He said GL was a good friend but he got the lyrics all wrong. I find it interesting he now uses the song in this movie. 2:40
The film is directed by Gary Dauberman who probably is the one who chose the music. No telling at this point if the song is used only for promotional use (like this trailer) or if will be in the film too.
You can tell it's a horror show because the color grading is so dark and dim in every scene you have to squint to make out what you're looking at. Note to filmmakers: making your show actually hard to watch doesn't make it seem more scarry. This is a trend that should have been DOA but still it persists.
Oh!
Martin Scorsese ova here!
Salem's was my first experience with Stephen King in the year of 1991 at the age of sixteen, and well it started a love affair that has never ended.
Salem’s lot is a book By Stephen King written in 1975 there was a miniseries that came out in 1979 and then in 1991. They did a remake which came out because of the success of the miniseries of it
Read the book many times. The 1979 miniseries is my favorite vampire film of all time. This looks like a slightly different take. And i love it so far
Never dreamed a connection between Gordon Lightfoot's sundown and Vampires. Lol!
but now i love it
Now this is a remake I can get behind!
Not a remake. If the source material isn’t the same medium as the new version it is not a remake but a reimagining.
Except for that song. 😅
I like it! But then I’m OaF.
@@StoopidSnot It's a remake, Cletus. A remake is a film, television series, video game, song or similar form of entertainment that is based upon and retells the story of an earlier production in the same medium-e.g., a "new version of an existing film".
@@titusmccarthy yea that is the definition of a remake but the source material was in a different medium. For example, the Resident Evil movies are not a remake of the game, and the last movie is not a remake of the original set of movies but a different version. The Dune movies are not remakes either as the book existed before the movie, same thing with the Crow. Every Batman movie the starts anew is not a remake of the previous or of the original either.
Salem’s Lot 2024 is not a remake of the 1997 movie as the movie was based of book, the 2024 movie is based of the book not the movie, Hance not a remake.
I read the book and watch the original movie, I'm glad they kept this version in the 70s
Can’t wait!! This is my most anticipated horror movie of the year behind Nosferatu 🧛🏻♂️
Just finished reading Salem’s Lot and I am HYPED
Dude something about the entire 70s decade has always given me creepy vibes. This just reaffirms it 😂
It was the fashion.
Utterly horrible.
I agree. Horror films from the 70s are just really, really unsettling. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Exorcist, The Omen, Amityville Horror, and of course Salem's Lot. It was just a very creepy decade.
When my dad (who was a priest) watched the first version of the movie and saw the Priest getting choke out by a vampire, he postulated that since a Priest consecrates the sacrament with his hands (the bread an wine) his fists should work just as well as crosses.
Then I imagined the scene much differently as the Priest punching the vampire in the face and at least putting up more of a fight. Granted it might not have saved him from the others, but the fight scene would have been epic.
The Priest didn't get choked by a vampire in the first version. Are you thinking of the second version from 2004, where Rutger Hauer (vamp) forced James Cromwell (priest) to drink his blood?
The priest was challenged to pit his faith against Barlow. His faith in God. If he had thrown the cross aside, it would have shown that he indeed had true faith in God instead of having faith in the material thing in his hand. By not throwing it away, he showed that he did not have faith that God would protect him, only that the cross would protect him. That's why Barlow won.
@@Victorblud....very good obeservation ! Never thought of it that way , yes Excellent observation
Wasn't that what happened in From Dusk Till Dawn?
Good point💯
I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. At first this movie gave me "Conjuring spin-off" vibes, but this trailer has affirmed my faith in this remake. There are many teases to terrifying sequences and homages to classics like The Evil Dead and 30 Days of Night. I'm loving what I'm seeing here and I can't wait to see this on Max (although I wish this was going to theaters!)
There is no way this trailer could have been better. I just pray to Barlow the whole movie is this good. Come on October 3rd…
Reading about Father Callahan in The Dark Tower series made me go ahead and read Salem’s Lot, and the book is actually very good.
That glowing cross looks exactly how it’s described in the novels.
Yes, and I also love that the cross is physically repelling the vampire back like a powerful force and causing it immense pain. Looks cool af
Yea, DT was such a good series it made me read every adjacent book, and then some. The Stand was my favorite, hands down, but 'Salem's Lot (it's short for Jerusalem's Lot) was also really good.
@@whamsilson0869I like to think it generates heat that only vamps can feel. Won’t burn the human wielder.
IIRC, the crosses glowed blue, not yellow/orange.
@@benjaminperez7328 Thats not a bad take from it actually because if the cross or holy water comes into contact with them, it burns them.

it does but most movies are shortened from what the book tells.
Most movies never match the book, but this looks damn near as close as I've yet to see in my 58 years. Glad I have Max as part of my bundle.
The last scene where Ben was grabbed wasn't really in the book. Dr. Cody and Mark Pertrie weren't black in the book and the former was a male.

@@jeffreymercado2082 Skin color doesn't matter, right?! So who cares what color the actors are. They are American human beings playing American human beings. For decades we have had white British actors playing American characters. No complaints about that from anyone.

@@kev7161 It certainly would make more money than its being released to streaming. Streaming isn't going to see a massive influx of new subscribers over this after all. Granted, there are additional costs in releasing a movie to the theater, but most movies today are still at least moderately successful - making back their budget and more (at least, once you rule out the "Hollywood accounting" system that still claims that the Lord of the Rings series lost money).
Had this released in October for Halloween? Yeah, it would've done well. Sure, it wouldn't have posted Deadpool & Wolverine numbers, but most successful movies don't. For example, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice opened to over $111M domestically on an $100M budget - and is already up to $163M worldwide in less than a week. The movie is successful. A vampire movie where the vampires are meant to be frightening, praised by Stephen King (who compares it to the better works of John Carpenter), released at Halloween? Horror fans would come out to see this in droves.
It would have made money, no question. Instead, they may make a few hundred dollars a month in new subscribers to a streaming service that likely won't be around for another two years.
it probably didn't test well in screenings so decided to send it direct to streaming with some changes.
@@Gustyrd1 actually the test screenings for this movie were well received from the articles I have read.
Wow, I thought Warners gave this one the old "Batgirl" special. Very glad to see it's actually releasing!
After seeing the buzz that this trailer is creating, I bet Warner Bros are kicking themselves for leaving this movie sitting on the shelf for over 2 years. Crazy.
I regularly listen to the BBC Radio's version of Salem's Lot, that it has become my benchmark when it comes to this story.
I hope this stands up and turns out well.
Even though it strayed somewhat from the source material, Tobe Hooper's 1979 2-part miniseries was a masterpiece. This'll need to be something special to be better.
Going to be tough to top that’s for sure
I was just going to say something about that. I loved that miniseries. It was a masterpiece. I was 12 years old when I saw it.
@@MargaretRosenbalm wish they just remade that, but this might be really good
@@MargaretRosenbalm I saw it originally when I was around 9 or 10, and I never watched the second part until several years later because Danny Glick at Mark Petrie's window gave me proper nightmares!
That thing was SCARY AF. This one has big shoes to fill.
One of the finest books by the King... there's a telefilm too from the 70s or 80s that's also beyond awesome!
@@realhbk316 it was a miniseries in 1979. It was so good.
1979. Yes, it's a classic.
At 2:19, I just hope Ben didn't die since he is the lead character from the start of the book.
i doubt he dies but you never know they do change stuff from book to screen.
Well, he doesn't die in the book so it'll be a major change if he does in this film. However, in 2003's Wolves of the Calla, which takes place some thirty years after the events of Salem's Lot, it's mentioned that Ben passed away and Mark Petrie attended his funeral. The two had remained in touch with each other all those years.
As a person who has never read the book and has very little knowledge of it, do yourself a favor and skip thr comments ! They're full of spoilers! 😅😭
I remember getting chills reading so many scenes from this as a teenager; this truly feels like a direct adaptation and I hope it is!
The window , the graveyard , Matt and Cory Bryant...all in the trailer , they picked the right scenes for people who have seen the Tobe Hooper version
Who's currently reading Salem's Lot?
Read it last year when this was originally supposed to come out. That cemetery scene 😬
I started rereading it a couple of days ago. It's been about 10 years since I read it last. Still in my top 5 books by King.
Yo mama is
Unironically started reading it for the first time two weeks ago. The timing is impeccable
I am listening to Per Semetary and the Long Walk myself atm
Nailed the year (1975). Nailed the atmosphere. Nailed the vampires. Nailed the iconic scenes (Morgue & Graveyard). The only thing left to see is Barlow. Personally, I hope we get a blend of the book and Tobe Hooper's Nosferatu version.
LFG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS😂. THE RECKONING IS NIGH😅
Uhh, NO, the first one with David Soul scared the s@it out of me... This looks even scarier...
This was partially filmed in my hometown of Ipswich MA. My family and I are very excited to see it!
The look of this movie feels so much like what mike flanagan does and I love him, have to watch this for sure!
Very much like midnight mass, which was the best flanagan series imo
@@CharlieCaddick-x7x yes very much so
@@CharlieCaddick-x7x and that was very much like Flanagan's version of Salems Lot.
Salem’s Lot is a perfect horror movie for Halloween!
The main actor looks like a young Kevin Spacey
The 1979 TV mini-series was directed by Tobe Hooper and was absolutely terrifying!! I remember people were calling the television station complaining about how frightening it was and trying to get them to not air the second part. This just looks like a CGI hopped up remake.
I'm very excited to watch this version of Salem's Lot because I really love the original
Why is Mark Petrie black? Damn Eggplants.
@@Saber808 S.L.
The trailer got the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up. Well done.
Why is Mark Petrie black? Damn Eggplants.

There are some shots that are so dark you can't even see what's happening
Mr Barlow is still the creepiest vampire. Hope they get it right in remake.
I think, considering also the popularity of the novel, this should go to cinemas...would be perfect for spooky season
Looks crap. Never replace the David Soul version. THE MASTER
James Mason was one of kind, nobody will live up to him.
@@Adam-sd2ow "Ciao, inspector."
The choice of Gordon Lightfoot for the soundtrack is pure genius!
Not that I'm against a movie adaptation, but I feel like this should've been a limited series to be able to HIT like the book does. But I'll give this a chance because it does look decent enough so far.
Just watch the 1970's short miniseries. It gives the story a bit more breathing room. Plus, Tobe Hooper made Barlow's makeup look like Count Orlok from the silent film "Nosferatu," which was one of the creepier film vampires.
man if only this movie was in theaters
Love that they kept it in the 70's. This looks like it is going to do the book right!
I think nothing can beat "30 days of night"! The vampires there were scary and brutal!!!!
I don’t care what anyone says, Salem’s Lot is hands down the scariest thing that King ever wrote. Excited to see if this holds up to the source!
Just watched this with a huge smile on my face and chills. The nostalgia of being a kid and watching the original which is my favorite vampire movie. This looks amazing. Hope it holds up.
This looks fantastic. I’m shocked
Danny Glick tapping on the second-story house window is one of the moments that damaged me as a kid :D
"cannot grow old in Salem's Lot..." IYKYK
1970s when times were the best. They should have made this a series
Shows a bit too much, but looks solid. Lewis Pullman as Ben Mears in a phenomenal casting choice.
Hope he survives
Ben Mears is my favorite protagonist by King. While Lewis Pullman isn’t what I imagine as Ben I’ll give him a shot.
Him and his father are underrated and always glad they appear on screen.
@@SandblstrLewis Pullman looks exactly like the way that King describes Ben Mears in the novel.
@@josebro352 I'm rereading right now since it's the best time of year for it. Ben has black hair. Which makes Rob Lowe's physical appearance as Mears a bit closer (I prefer David Soul's portrayal & outift for Ben between those two, but hope Pullman does well). In regards to the new film, they did give Ben a quirky foreign car this time, not his Citroen DS like in the book, but it suits the character. Wonder what it is?
@@Sandblstr Well he is a bit of a quirky character, both in the novel and the two films. I liked how he drove a Jeep Wrangler in the original.
YO THE CROSSES GLOW WHEN USED I WAS SO HOPING FOR THAT DETAIL
