You've seen original CARRIE 1976 and the best version but why don't you check out 2002 + 2013 and also carrie 2 the rage. Also why don't you check out all the original karate kid films then watch Cobra Kai all 5 seasons so far. BTW salems lots 79 you said 2nd worst Stephen King film wtf. Its brilliant and better than the original Shinning and the best vampire film ever. Better than Lost Boys. When lost boys n buffy vampire slayer looked upto original salems lot.
I watched this on TV when I was 8 years old. The Return to Salem's Lot was awful. The later version with Rob Lowe isn't as good as the 1979 version, even though parts are more accurate to the book. The vampire eye effect was from specially made contacts. Also, the Glick boy's mother was the actual wife of the actor that played Straker.
I read the book when it came out. I was 10.
It said NOTHING about vampires on the back cover. It scared the crap out of me. So much so that I went and bought a cross on a chain. It hangs on my bedpost to this day: 48 years later.
Honestly, we laughed at this miniseries when it was first on. Although the Glick kid at the window is perhaps one of the most scary things I've ever seen on TV.
was 10yrs old when I saw this (at the Cinema), was scary af … the acting is a bit off but didn't notice it back then lol – James Mason is probably the standout star 🙂
This was King's second book, and second adaptation. Carrier came first for both. 'Salem's Lot miniseries was my introduction to King's work. I've been a Constant Reader ever since.
I was at school when I saw this on TV, it was great at the time. Everyone was talking about it in school. Great choice
"You can do nothing against The Master."
susan is bonnie bedielia from die hard
Your daughter is sweet!
Not mentioned, the man who wrote the screenplay for this show, also wrote the screenplay for the first Stephen King based film 'Carrie'.
Great Horror TV Movie Classic Loved Salem s Lot
As much as I don't appreciate Mr. King and I'm not a Starsky and Hutch fan, I still kind of enjoyed this. Several of his stories made the small screen. You know, making out at the lake after meeting the parents makes it less like a first date. I forgot about Holly Gennaro's colorful past. Never seen James Mason so creepy. Thanks for bringing this back.
Bonnie Bedalia,Die Hard
Bonnie is Macauley Caulkin's aunt
the hot waitress didn't get a mention in the credits
It you want to watch a great vampire series with a different flavor watch del torros, The Strain series
When my oldest daughter was being potty trained, whenever she was pooping she would say, with a strained voice, "It's commminnnggg ouuuttt!!!!". A laugh riot every single time.
Ugh…there's a commandment AGAINST graven images and most sects of christians try to follow that EXCEPT CATHOLICS…who are a construct of the Roman Empire and not REALLY christians but an amalgamation of Roman Mythology and Christian Mythology.
Uma Thurman showed me it's possible for humans to get out of wooden caskets buried somewhat shallow. But I'm thinking a modern coffin under 8 feet of dirt would be pretty hard.
For years I've been mistaking this for another King adaptation, "Silver Bullet." '80s movie with Corey Haim.
Marie Windsor, Elisha Cook, Jr., Geoffrey Lewis, Lew Ayres, Fred Willard, James Mason, Bonnie Bedelia – my goodness! David Soul and Lance Kerwin (James at 15) are the weak acting links, IMHO!
V was the 80’s
Are you going to watch the Rob Lowe version as well? It's not as good as the original tv series, but it's really good.
Regardless of my opinions of the adaptations, James Mason (this one) and Max von Sydow (Needful Things) are two of the most perfectly cast actors in Stephen King projects ever. I remember liking this when it came out and I was a 14 year old Stephen King fan, but I haven't revisited it since. Needful Things had a great cast but didn't hold together for me as a film overall. Some great moments though. edit: and I was today years old when I found out that Bonnie Bedelia was in both!
I do hope you do V eventually – that was some great ;80s TV.
PS Glowing holy water: vampire orcs
Watch Needful things
The young woman was the wife Holly in Die hard
Thought about doing One Piece Netflix adaptation?
Im sry but the acting is sooo bad imo…lol…the vampire part of it is awesome though and makes it a top classic 🔥👍 good pick👌✌️
I watched this when it came on TV (I was about 12) and that window scene gave me nightmares for years. LOL
