This is one of Stephen King's Movie adaptions they didn't screw up. It is scary for T.V. and the story line is excellent. I first watched it when I was 7 and believed it was terrifying. I still believe some of the scenes will make you jump. I just watched it last night and forgot about those creepy scenes. A great movie I recommend for everyone, especially horror fans.

Movie was great if I remember. This disc however, was defective as the second half would not play. Had to throw it away.

The story centers around a low population of residents who are being transformed into vampires in a quiet New England village. The Marsten House has a reputation in town for being haunted, and sits alone up on top of a hill outside from the village. It is inside the Marsten House where the vampires seek their shelter during daylight. This is unknown to the residents in town. Author Ben Mears (David Soul) once had a frightening experience as a child inside the Marsten House, and has returned to SALEMS LOT several years later to write a book about it. There have been quite a few vampire films, and I have seen quite a few. In my opinion this mini-series made for television still ranks among the very best. Most of the scenes are quite shocking without ever being gruesome. SALEMS LOT relied more on shock, and suspense which makes me realize why it has held up so well. The Nosferatu looking vampire is truly terrifying. In my opinion, this is the best looking vampire in any vampire film. Director Tobe Hooper has done a wonderful job directing David Soul, James Mason, Bonnie Bedelia, and Reggie Nalder as Mr. Barlow.Read full review

I love the original Salem's Lot made for TV movie! I remember watching this as a kid in 1979. David Soul and Lance Kerwin were the best!! Even though special effects have definitely improved since 1979, the suspense still caught me by surprise. It was awesome!! I watched it twice and now my sister has it. She was a huge David Soul fan.
