Stephen King's "Salem's Lot" on Max

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

anyone else seen the sequel from 1987?

It's pretty underrated as hell.

I cannot go home to Salem's Lot!!

After reading 'salem's Lot and the prequel and sequel short stories (Jerusalem's Lot and One for the Road) not that long ago, I'm more than ready for this. Looks like they are keeping it set in the 1970s which is a good choice. I wonder if they'll address the bigotry in the small town since they have some black actors, or if they'll just ignore it

Wish this was a miniseries tbh.

That would be best for all of the characters in the book but they are probably just focusing on the Ben Mears' storyline

Idc. Where's the dark tower tv series?

I think the IT series coming to Max in 2025 will light the fire for a Dark Tower series...especially given how well Thrones/Dragons has done.

I loved this book when I read it as a kid. I've never seen the older versions so I'm pretty excited for this release.

@LevelUp we need the thread title updated for Salem's Lot.

Mike Flanagan mentioned that he is working on getting The Dark Tower series off the ground

Any of y'all seen the 2004 TNT remake starring Rob Lowe, Andre Braugher, & Donald Sutherland?:

Salem's Lot (2004 miniseries) - Wikipedia

If so, is it also worth watching?

“Chapelwaite” on mgm ended up being pretty good. I didn’t even know they adapted “Jerusalem’s lot”.

I haven't seen that. Looking it up I see it is more of a direct prequel to 'Salem's Lot than what Jerusalem's Lot actually was. I'll have to watch it some time
