The absolute best horror film ever made.I cannot express how much this film has meant over the years to myself and my brother. The atmosphere, the music, the location all build on top of a masterful Stephen King story. Tobe Hooper achieves a beautifully crafted epic miniseries that exhibits true tension and terror. Much like any great horror film, the story is paramount. And this story delivers on top of the aforementioned elements. At the end of the three hour film, I always find myself wondering how it went by so quickly. For fans of King, Hooper, atmosphere & true chills, don't miss this classic..Score: 5/5

Still great!I first saw this movie in 1981 when I was in 6th grade. Our class won an academic prize and the reward was a class movie day. This was one of the movies that we chose and it scared us. Really, really scared us. I didn’t sleep well for several weeks. There have been many scarier movies released since, but I’ll never forget this one..Score: 5/5

Mr. Barlow is King’s GOATThe blue fanged face of the master vampire - Mr. Barlow is easily one of the scariest images I’ve ever seen in any movie the jail house scene in this miniseries is one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen. Salem’s Lot is one of King’s greatest works and this Tobe Hooper miniseries is way better than it’s given credit for….Score: 5/5

Underated classicFinally, it's here! This is the best vampire movie that I have ever seen. When I saw this as a kid, I was scared for the rest of my life. It nails all the trops, but from the perfect angle. Nice escalation of tension too. The end looks like it was finished in hurry..Score: 5/5

The scariest mini-series everThis put Stephen King on the map and sent his book sales through the roof. It's a good TV horror movie, which originally aired as a two-part miniseries. At the end of part one, when the windows open it's truly scary (at least it was by 1970's standards). Unfortunately, most of the movie adaptions of his books have not been spectacular, including the original version of It (although the remake is much better). If you think the 'Salem's Lot miniseries is good, read the book. It is the scariest book I ever read in my life (and it has been over forty years since I've read it). You keep turning the pages in a futile attempt to make the bad things go away. But they don't..Score: 5/5

El autor Ben Mears regresa a la casa de su infancia en Jerusalem's Lot en busca de inspiración para su próximo libro, solo para descubrir que su ciudad natal está siendo atacada por un vampiro sediento de sangre.

Deutsch
Nach vielen Jahren kehrt der Schriftsteller Ben Mears (Lewis Pullman) in seine alte Heimat nach Jerusalem’s Lot, von den Einheimischen nur Salem’s Lot genannt, zurück. Als Kind erlebte Ben Schauerliches im Marsten-Haus, von dem man sich sagt, dass es dort spukt. Nun will er das Haus als Inspirationsquelle für sein neues Buch nutzen und sich endlich den Ängsten der Vergangenheit stellen. Als Ben jedoch erfährt, dass das Haus inzwischen verkauft wurde und in ein Antiquitätengeschäft umgewandelt werden soll, kann er es zunächst kaum glauben. Bald schon häufen sich Gräueltaten in der Stadt. Ein Hund wird tot aufgefunden, der Totengräber Mike Ryerson (Spencer Treat Clark) weist Bissspuren am Hals auf und Ärztin Dr. Cody (Alfre Woodard) muss kurioser Weise vermehrt Blutarmut diagnostizieren. Hilfe sucht Ben bei seiner alten Freundin Susan Norton (Makenzie Leigh) und ist überzeugt, dass hinter den bösen Taten von Salem’s Lot Vampire stecken.
