Salems Lot (1979)

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.

We won't reveal here the secret of Salem: suffice to say that the action goes directly to the jugular, and that 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; it was subsequently pared down to a single three-hour installment, which in turn was whittled down to about two hours for cable-TV play.
