Everyone knows. If you saw this on TV in 79 ... the kid in the window was the stuff of nightmares

[AndyWhisney]

The only book I've ever read that legitimately made me turn all the lights on in the house.

[TheOriginalFoxtrotCharlie]

My family stayed in a small, medieval town in England in the late 90s. The narrow alleys, cobbled streets and tudor buildings just transported you to another place, another time. We stayed in a 600yr old Tudor building called Old Beams. It was right across the road from a towering Abbey, a former Benedictine monastery, which started being built in the 12th Century. The tombs of countless Earls and Barons from this time period were located on the grounds. My little attic bedroom across the road, in Old Beams, was 3 storeys up and looked across the Abbey grounds. The roof so low with beams, i had to duck down to reach my little bed next to the single pane, glass window. Right beside my pillow.
It was there, looking out into the night, as the Abbey bells rang midnight and the fog rolled down the cobbled streets under the moonlight ... that I read Salems Lot for the first time. Im positive vampires were tapping on my little window all night long. That experience and this story have been close to my heart for the last 25 years and seeing this trailer just bought every single emotion rushing back!! I really hope this is good. I really hope it is as good as i saw it in my head those 25 years ago

I think this is Stephen King’s creepiest book. There are so many scenes in the book that get under your skin. The Shining and Pet Sematary are very spooky and creepy too but Salems Lot just has such good tension throughout the book

[legogodzilla]

"The one thing about living in New England I never could stomach: all the damn vampires."

[johnreed]

awesome that they decided to keep this in the 1970s

[donnacaldwell]

They will never top the original for me. Those visions of the Glick brothers, Geoffrey Lewis in the rocking chair, hissing, “We’ll see you sleep like the dead, teeaacherrr, ” at the old man, and Reggie Nalder as Barlow…all are burned into my memory by those yellow vampire eyes.

[seanhiggins]

As a child in the 70’s, watched Jaws and was then afraid to go in the water, and watched Salems Lot miniserieses and was then afraid of the dark. I miss those traumatising times….

[EthelJung-jw]

At sixteen years old, I picked up the book. I had to get my dad to lower the drapes if I neglected to stop reading before it was dark! I tell people that Stephen King made me dread vampires, and Anne Rice made me love them.

[flibber]

I like that it's set in the '70s. It also looks like the people who made this movie have an understanding of what made the novel so memorable.

[CatherineKiernan-oq]

Much of this was filmed right down the street from my house in Sterling, MA. The road where they have the Salem’s Lot sign is Lucas Rd. and I drive down it every day. The Marsten house was a fake house set up on Tuttle Rd. in Sterling. Was so cool to see the movie set and the old cars in real life.

[jordannnokwam]

This movie should’ve went to theaters man 😭😭😭💔

[mixtape-memory]

Snuck into the living room and saw the original when I was 7 and literally constructed a cross out of Popsicle sticks to keep under my bed for the next 6 months afterwards.

[redboniusmax]

Poor Father Callahan. Gonna end up in Mid-world fighting robot wolves before it's all said and done.

[DanHunterSportsWriter]

This looks totally overcooked. The 1979 version was superb because it was stripped right down to the bare bones, so the horror, the story, the brilliant acting and the superb special effects really hit home. You cant force a scary moment. Mr Barlowe's first appearances were so powerful because they were unexpected and he looked scarier than anything you'd ever seen before!

[MeizrRoeni]

At 0:32, that's my house! They commandeered my hometown of Ipswich, Massachusetts, for the filming, and spending a week living on a set was AMAZING. It was a blast for all of us. I'm overjoyed that it's now available!

[daniel_redbeard]

One of my favorite movies as a kid. The boy tapping on the window always got me.

[johngrizzle]

I always liked how the vampires took over the empty houses during the day, and you see in the trailer that they even take refuge in the trunks of cars. It's a sleep where you can sorta thing. Makes it creepy because you know they are lurking everywhere.

[whamsilson]

Things I liked:
- The crosses glow and I like that they actually repel the Vampires like a powerful force.
- The colours. Day looks warm and welcoming, while night looks cold and gloomy.
- It looks like they’re really gonna capture the isolation of The Lot once the damage is done and times running out.
- Love the look of the vampires. Almost ripped right out the book.
- Keeping Barlow hidden was smart. I really hope he looks menacing.
- The Marsten House looks great.
- Despite it being just under 2 hours long, I still think this will be a fairly good adaptation. I would’ve preferred this as a series or a 2 1/2 hour film but as long as it captures the tone, the sense of imposing dread, and nails the moments of suspense, I’m all in.

October’s gonna be good this year.

[mimoreque]

I can't really express how excited I am to finally get to see this remake. Thank you!!! I've been waiting for this moment since I saw the original one in 1979. -Mr. Barlow, we missed you...
