Salem's Lot (1979)
Salem's Lot is based on the novel of the same name, it is about novelist David Soul returns to his home town of Salem, finding that things have changed a bit. More than a bit, in fact: the previously warm and friendly community is downright sinister. Soul suspects that the bizarre behavior of his onetime friends and neighbors is the handiwork of oddball antique dealer James Mason. Make-up artists Jack Young and Ben Lane won an Emmy nomination Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King, Salem's Lot was originally telecast in two parts on November 17 and 24, 1979. Later cut to 150 minutes; the 112 minute version available on video and shown on cable-TV as SALEM'S LOT: THE MOVIE. BLOOD THIRST is the overseas theatrical version and contains more explicit violence.
