Good job. This is one of my favorite Stephen King stories, as atmospheric and scary as anything he wrote. Always wanted someone to film it. You caught a lot of it.
I like it more than salems lot
This is a lot like Dracula's Guest, by Bram Stoker, a short story deleted from his novel, Dracula.
I've always wondered why people would KNOWINGLY live, and operate a business, in close proximity to a town full of vampires. And not just any business... but a bar!!?? Insert jokes about "dropping in for a drink."
You would think that they would surround the Lot with crosses and block off that road, I always figure they keep it open so the vampires don't eat them. I thought they couldn't come in without a invite. Must be too poor to move.....cuz I agree with you.
Most people who lived near "The Lot" Wore a cross or something to protect them from the vampires and they tried to warn people away from the area but you can only warn people so much and if they don't listen its on them.
House prices.
The vampires are stuck there.
Good lord.
You missed the whole part of them driving back in the snowstorm to get them in the empty car - That was the scariest part of the story - If you’re not gonna do a story right, don’t do it at all!
It was still very atmospheric and done better than other versions on YT. Maybe they just didn’t have budget to fake a snow storm while driving?
May 30, 2023---Good story but how did the wife/daughter remain in the bar with a cross on that back wall?
"Somewhere in the night, there's a little girl wanting a hug"...or something like that. Been a while since I read this. One of my favs.
“Somewhere in the night there’s a little girl still looking for a goodnight kiss”
@06mrselfdestruct Thanks! I knew it was something like that
No ghosts in The Lot. That line always gets me.
It was in the short story as originally written, too.
That line also nailed me hard when I read it for the first time.
The ending words for it:"There's a little girl out there, and I believe she wants to give me a kiss."
I could never believe that Ben and Mark would leave the Lot infested with vampires after burning the entire place down. I thought they went back to kill them all, and I always wondered what went wrong.
I thought much the same.
Mark may have been only a teenage boy, but he was tough as bull hide.
They sure made a remarkable effort to wipe up all the vampires hiding in the town, Ben and Mark were absolutely resolved to do so. But hard as they have tried, there's no way to be certain about getting rid of all of them. Probably some vampires spread out in the sorrounding areas and escaped from the fire and subsequent hunt carried out by this pair, enabling the remaining undead to slowly regroup and breed new victims.
What seems certain is that 2 years after Ben and Mark return to the town, their attempt to put an end to this curse somewhat failed and vampires still wander around the burned remains of Salem's Lot and nearby roads. Even Barlow was defeated, his evil curse still remains lurking in the dark in certain isolated areas of northern Maine.
PD: As unlikely as it sounded, II had long desired for King to fully pick up again his great vampire novel (widely regarded as one of his finest works, including a much beloved TV adaptation which greatly strechted out his legacy within horror fans). I perfectly know that by default , he isnt interested in sequels and almost never do it. And he already resume many elements of Salem's Lot (Father Callahan and vampires) to the narrative of his Dark Tower saga. But this story has such a potential and his open ending left so many unaswered questions, It always will be my dreamed and most desired ever would be Stephen King sequel (even further than the return of the very Pennywise himself)
Really, really bad. But good try! 😊
Clever of you to have that mirror shot!
I had visited new, england, portland, cities, main, stated, new,land, commentwealth, also i did'nt gets changed, too sightseening, and the reasoning becuz...i had too returned, too the greyhound, stationions, its...shut the hours, 6:00 p.m. so i have's returned there's, agained just only too visited, and realized most these, org, shut down, the hours, 6:00 p.m.
Slick flick! I've always loved this story, and this is a great rendition. Imagine if Blade pulled up in his charger.
Damn dude Blade would clean house
The fellow playing Tookey is a good actor. Mr. Lumley wasn't too bad, either. Music was kinda intrusive. Overall, the sound was not good. Why did the vampires wear bad makeup? It's muvh creepier when they look normal and then act like vicious monsters.
That was an interesting take on the King's story.
I recently picked up the rights to one of his Dollar Baby stories. I was wondering about distribution. It's totally fine to distribute through TH-cam?
I had to ask permission to put it on youtube, so I would recommend asking first. I think as long as you make no money off it its fine.
Just finished this book and tbh the 2 shorts were more effective so keen to watch this
Shame all these adapts make Boothe and Tookey too young. Old people in horrors rock.
This brings back memories. I read the Stephen King short story decades ago.
Fair adaptation, but , I preferred the scenarios from the short story by King.
Thanks! My original plans more in line with the story. I filmed this on a set in NYC and my original plan was to rent some cars and bring the actors up north to film some of the outdoor scenes from the short story in the snow. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it work with the schedule, and there were budgetary restraints, so we couldn't make it happen.
The story is fresh to me so I can see how you altered it but I like what you’ve done with it making it take place in a single location
Why can't theses little movies stick to the dam story as written?
Esto es mitad bar y mitad road film. El protagonista principal de la historia original de Stephen King es un hombre y aquí tenemos a Jacqueline Dorry en su lugar. Este candidato a Dollar Baby es fácil de adaptar si puedes disparar en una taberna por una noche. Esta historia corta tiene un poderoso giro que otros cineastas han presagiado de manera diferente. Aquí, la palabra "J" muy spoiler se pronuncia cinco minutos después.
Es un viaje tenso. Es una película compacta de veinte minutos. Prepárese para pasarlo en la oscuridad con poca luz. Podría haber usado más tomas de establecimiento. Puede ser desorientador considerando la proximidad constante de la cámara a sus sujetos. Todos los demás elementos técnicos se unen, con menciones de honor para una partitura que siempre está en la nota y un elenco de buenos actores.
Este corto explota nuestra pasión por King, pero debes ser el tipo de fanático adecuado. Está profundamente en nicho. Pierde su potencia si no tienes la sabiduría necesaria para conectar esta historia con la que se menciona en el giro inicial. Viktor Hernandez clavó esto en la silla del director, haciendo que esta sesión sea emocionante y horrible durante casi toda su duración y esté a la altura de un final poderoso.
Gracias por compartir.
Get a life
That is not exactly how the story goes 1st of all the girl is about 6-7 years old and the mother and her are lost after they were left in the car and lumly finds them in the snow and the girl tries to attack 1 of the guys But he uses his bible to scare her away they never come in to the barn
Is the bartender Marjorie Glicks husband
THAT was awesome!
Great film ❤ keep up the great work
🏆🏆🏆
Glad this was made
EXCELLENT
Brandy yellow?
Great job! I loved this story and it was fun to see it made into a mini movie. More please!!!
so you did not have a car or did not have snow??? why all happened in the bar? also. both guys are quite older in the story :) and Jerrie's wife was beautiful brunette. cool movie anyway!!!
We couldn't get the car :) Thank you though for the compliment!
Well done.
This is the best version yet.
It's a shame that there isn't a way for these Dollar Baby films to be made as for all to see legally. The makers should at least recuperate the cost and maybe further profits going to charity, of King's choice. Fortunately this is another one that's available to view and it's quite effective.
Great job! Thanks for uploading this.😃
How did you obtain the rights to the story?
honestly, this play had little or nothing to do with the actual Stephen King story, which is excellent.
Very poor job making this. Sucked
You suck Mike
