Here in Great Britain, BBC a wonderful organisation in regard to dramas and it has been many times and this is part of it. The radio Dept was absolutely fantastic and this is one of many adaptations of classic novels. The BBC gets a lot of criticism. Yes I agree maybe it’s not ideal with the news and obviously it’s history of employees but it made some fantastic programs , being British it’s wonderful if it’s dramas are admired around the world that people enjoyed them. They really did a wonderful job at the BBC drama dept with making fantastic dramas and it’s proud to be British knowing the world enjoyed our BBC dramas
I love this alot and appreciate it ..I'm in Akron ,Cleveland ohio area kinda violent what is your location there?? I would beg to go to SWERSBERRY ?? not sure on spelling but they filmed A Christmas Carol 1984 there
I watched a lot of BBC programs until I saw Anne Bolyne portrayed by a woman that looked absolutely nothing like her including her race. I've started turning off anything that twists history out of political correctness. Perhaps BBC radio is less odious.
I absolutely adore this reading/acting. Listened to it several times. Mad respect for all the actors! I really fall in love with the characters. I always laugh, always feel that fun fear, ...just supremely done! (Standing ovation)😊
@@YesterHearoh thank ypu for uploading this I keep it on repeat because I fall asleep half way at night … im 3/4 through now because im listening at a cafe lol great episode thank you 😊😊❤
Absolutely adore this adaptation. I think it’s wonderful. I really think it’s beautifully done. I’ve read the book and I think this is gorgeously covered. I love that 70s series. It was fantastic as a youngster when watching the series was terrifying and gripping and I think this drama on radio brings it to life I’m a huge fan of this.
Sadly, it tends to get taken down when the people acting for King go on the prowl. It used to be on another channel I shan't name here but a couple of King adaptations and a few Ray Bradburys were subject to takedown requests. Weirdly they overlooked Pet Sematery though...
Love SALEM'S lot love radio horror i never thought i would love this kind of outlet my imagination is way more detailed and clear than Hollywood could ever do plus in my imagination no child gets abused..
Thank you for your comment and for tuning in! I find that when I've read a book, the movie tends to disappoint bc there's no limit to our imagination. Books and audios really inspire. ✨
Thank you for tuning in and for your kind comment. The movie w David Soul terrified me for the longest time. Just lucky to have happened upon this audio. I think King incorporated some aspects of Stoker's Dracula and Nosferatu here. So masterful.
Wow I never thought that such a radio cast like this would grab me this much and this episode is awesome too. I had family in Salem...now they live in Boston Mass. Anyway, listening further now❤ Edit: you've got me subbed
I didn’t want it to end!! Finally got thru!! Loved the Metallica song as they were driving back into Salems Lot!! The beat rendition of it yet thank you so much !!!
This together with Pet Semetary are amazing radio productions, thank you so much for sharing, loved this. It's a shame we didn't see more Stephen King books adapted in this medium, just imagine how amazing it would have been to listen to a productions of The Stand, IT, The Shining, Needful Things, or any other King novel of this calibre.
Thank you for tuning in and your comment. This was a pretty fantastic cast, crew, production (03:12:10 Credits). One of my favorite horrors by King. I just watched the movie "Apt Pupil." Only now do I realize that that was also by King. He doesn't get enough credit for his talent.

Salem's Lot is a 1994 BBC Radio 4 dramatization of Stephen King's 1975 novel 'Salem's Lot written by Gregory Evans. It combines the psychological thriller and the classic horror genres, making references to Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula at several points and sometimes replicating its storyline.
💐Thank you so much for tuning in and for your comments! I love BBC. For some reason, I cannot access the shows from the US. I just happened upon this straggler. Watched the TV series in US when I was younger....terrified me but that actually has become sweet nostalgia. 🤣
@@YesterHearyes that brilliant 79 series with James mason and of course David soul , the window scenes wow and the one we’re he’s in the rocking chair 😮
@@YesterHear This particular series was a sort of 'follow up' to an adaptation broadcast in the same 7-episode format at the same time of year a couple of years earlier - but it also turned out to be the beginning of a clutch of King adaptations on BBC radio. Pet Sematery followed, then Secret Window, Secret Garden. The cast of this version of Salem's Lot has a couple of curiosities - the obvious one is that Barlow is played by the guy who was Pinhead in the Hellraiser movies (big at the time), but the lead actor, Stephen Milligan is a curiosity. Despite looking very much like a leading man he mostly seemed to get radio work in the UK, one of a handful of very busy American accent-providers. And yet he's been seen by millions and millions of people - he's literally the first character to speak in the film 'Aliens' - he's the salvager who finds Sigourney Weaver. He's also played The Joker and Superman in radio adaptations... and on TV he played Richard Nixon in Doctor Who...
At first i too thought of Clint Eastwood but as i listened Jason Alexander came to mind. Imagine Jason Alexander as Clint Eastwood. Back to the play, one of King's very best.
Thanks for keeping the scene at Dell's where Ben first meets Matt. It's been removed from other uploads? Was it an issue with the music? It's different here than other uploads prior.
I remember watching this on television. They aired it in two parts. Which wasn't the norm back then. I ABSOLUTELY loved the T.V. show with David Soul. I took the book out of the school library multiple times. I was probably in 5th grade in up. I saw the remake on TNT/TBS a few decades later. I didn't like that one. But I know this story practically by heart. I love the way this is is done. I can close my eyes and see every character, every place, every spooky sound. The doing different people's voices, doing different characters. with just the right amount of background sounds. I am ecstatic.
I demand the address of the proprietor here. Once again, Salem's Lot has caused me to soil my personal garments. I simply must be compensated for my cleaning bill !
This is a fabulous version of a brilliant book. I like many, love the original movie starring David Soul. It was well acted and, at times, genuinely creepy. The Rob lowe version was average, and i didn't finish watching it. I recently watched the latest interpretation and was extremely disappointed. It was a really poor adaptation, and at times, pretty ridiculous. The best thing about it, in my humble opinion, was the use of Sundown, sung by the late Gordon Lightfoot.
This is very enjoyable, however there are little britishisms no American ever called running shoes "trainers" and the accents are kind of hilariously broad.
Enjoying classic radio? 🎙 Subscribe for more timeless shows and help keep the nostalgia going. Glad to have you here! 📻✨
Not now to woke to make them now
Fantastic adaptation! Love the background picture! Thank you so much for posting this! Wonderfully done!

@ I’m in the big smoke London you be thinking of Shrewsbury
@@GidionApex
Cleveland rocks
Creepy
Besides the book and the 79 film this is the next best adaptation
I am in awe of what King can produce. Truly gifted storyteller. Thanks for listening and commenting!
The 79 film was scary and cheesy, but the Rob Lowe version is much, much better.
I absolutely adore this reading/acting. Listened to it several times. Mad respect for all the actors! I really fall in love with the characters. I always laugh, always feel that fun fear, ...just supremely done! (Standing ovation)😊
No doubt they did Mr. King proud. Definitely a talented cast, crew and production. Thank you for listening and commenting!
Same this is my favourite horror movie ever and this rendition is mad great acting!!
Question are you an Aussie? Lol the mad respect is why !!
@@YesterHearoh thank ypu for uploading this I keep it on repeat because I fall asleep half way at night … im 3/4 through now because im listening at a cafe lol great episode thank you 😊😊❤
Probably the best horror story ever still scares me to this day 😮😅
Thanks for tuning in and commenting! It was great how King added elements of Stoker's Dracula and Nosferatu.
Barlow was scary. I wish he just got a little more screen time.

Glad you enjoyed it! Stephen King is truly gifted. 😱✨
Loved this radio cast its better than the various movie adaptations that have failed at being faithful to the novel.

How wonderful! Thank you for your kind comment! 🌟💐
This adaptation brings you into Salems Lot, read the book, watch the mini series (David Soul IS Ben ) SUPERB RENDITION OF A SUPERB NOVEL 😊😮
Ben Mears, a successful writer who grew up in the town of Jerusalem's Lot, Maine (known to locals as "Salem's Lot" or "The Lot"), has returned
One of my fav Stephen K books. 📕
And he has also written non-horror stories. Truly mega-talented. Thanks so much for tuning in! 🌻
Great voices. In the Daylight, I have chills.
Many thanks! The movie and this still give me chills! 🦇😱
"At last we meet Dr Acula!"
"That is not my name, you fool!"
Hahaha 😂😂👍🏻
🤣Reminds me of A B Normal from Young Frankenstein. Thanks so much for listening!
At first i too thought of Clint Eastwood but as i listened Jason Alexander came to mind. Imagine Jason Alexander as Clint Eastwood. Back to the play, one of King's very best.
Yeah he definitely sounds like Clint Eastwood m
Holy crap, the woman speaking to Ben Mears, if I remember correctly, also voiced the Witch of Hungry Hollow? Supercool. 🤩
Hey, thanks for listening!🌻 I've not seen/heard Witch of Hungry Hollow, but the credits for this show is at 03:12:00.
Great Story...
Do my ears deceive me or am I hearing the beginning of Ry Cooder's "Paris, Texas" as a musical cue that we're changing locations?
I can hear it too.
Thanks for keeping the scene at Dell's where Ben first meets Matt. It's been removed from other uploads? Was it an issue with the music? It's different here than other uploads prior.
I can't remember exactly, but my guess is that it is the music. Thank you for listening!
I loved radio story's
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by! ✨

They did do a fantastic job. Thank you very much for listening and for your generous comment. 🦇 🌟🌻
🎉🎉🎉 wow even better than the movie, have you(every1 on the comments) watched the remakes?(terrible)
in my humble opinion, the movie version with David Soul is the better one. Not watched it for years though.
@@pennymathysen2428 I've only known the David Soul's version. It's fantastic!
I loved that movie. I had to sleep with the lights on for months. 🤣
Thanks oodles for tuning in! Nothing compares to the one w David Soul. And, I love that era, too. 🌻
Stuart Milligan sounds almost exactly like Will Forte
When and where was this first released?
I looked it up. 1994 BBC radio play
That sounds abt right. Thanks for tuning in!
90s BBC, Thanks so much for tuning in!
Ben mears voice actor sounds like Michael Landon.
Believe it or not, it's actually this guy: th-cam.com/video/ptEEe42ABdU/w-d-xo.html

nail-biting scary 😱

😂🤣
Help! How can I get ad free please? 😖
Pay for TH-cam Premium
Hi. Thank you for tuning in ! YT premium has ad-free.
I'm appreciative for this audiobook but that very loud screechy music/sounds is dreadful.
Thanks a bushel for listening and for your feedback!
This is a fabulous version of a brilliant book.
I like many, love the original movie starring David Soul. It was well acted and, at times, genuinely creepy.
The Rob lowe version was average, and i didn't finish watching it.
I recently watched the latest interpretation and was extremely disappointed. It was a really poor adaptation, and at times, pretty ridiculous. The best thing about it, in my humble opinion, was the use of Sundown, sung by the late Gordon Lightfoot.
The chills from the David Soul movie are timeless. Thanks for tuning in and commenting. 🌟
This is very enjoyable, however there are little britishisms no American ever called running shoes "trainers" and the accents are kind of hilariously broad.
Do I hear the voice of Clint Eastwood?
sounds like him, but prolly not. 🤣
He does have the same cadence. 🤣 Credits 03:12:16.
No
You do not.
This story is so basic, really goes to show what can be done with simple elements. That kids accent sucks though.
