#13 Salem’s Lot

44 years ago a television miniseries reminded audiences vampires could be very scary. Based on the Stephen King novel, Salem’s Lot brought bloodsuckers out of Transylvania and into modern society in the form of terrifying demonic forces taking over a small New England town. The Video Verdict gets to the bottom of King’s 1975 book and Tobe Hooper’s classic 1979 movie adaptation.
