'Salem's Lot' Cast Talks Bringing New Life to Undead Stephen King Adaptation

Woodard, who plays a gender-swapped version of Dr. Cody, described the film as both thrilling and timely, drawing parallels between the story’s theme of a small town consumed by darkness and modern societal issues. She emphasized the film’s exploration of ideas spreading like an “infection,” much like vampire seduction, reflecting on how dangerous ideas can take hold in communities.

The project, originally announced in 2019, faced delays before its release, leaving the cast excited yet anxious. Pullman, who plays the lead role of Ben Mears, said it was strange revisiting a film shot years earlier, but praised the experience of working alongside industry legends like Bill Camp.

After much anticipation, *Salem’s Lot* will finally stream on Max, with fans eager to see this new take on King’s chilling vampire tale.
