The Ultimate In Terror!
With Salem's Lot, a blood-curdling shocker based on the novel by Stephen King, director Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist) sends the time-honored vampire legend soaring on bat wings into the modern era.
Sinister events bring together a writer (David Soul) fascinated with an old hilltop house, a suave antiques dealer (James Mason) whose expertise goes beyond bric-a-brac and the dealer's mysterious, pale-skinned "partner" (Reggie Nalder). The solid supporting cast of vampire victims and fighters includes Bonnie Bedelia, Lew Ayres, Elisha Cook, Ed Flanders, George Dzundza, Lance Kerwin, Geoffrey Lewis and Marie Windsor. It's hard to keep the undead down. And so easy to be scared in Salem's Lot.

Big, spooky bald guy with fangs - 4 out of 5 (6/10/2002)
This is a terrific movie, and Stephen King's most worthy contribution to the vampire genre. The cheesiest moment is when David Soul scares off Mrs. Glick with a tongue depressor cross. The most spine chilling scene is with Ned in the jail cell. Don't miss this movie!
