Welcome back to the Stephen Kingcast. As I continue to explore King's adapted televised works, I re-examine the seminal 1979 Salem's Lot two part TV movie.
The original review was published in the early fall of 2014, and in this updated and expanded examination, I provide an additional half hour of context and appreciation to Tobe Hooper's vision.
Original description:
"In this week's episode of The Stephen Kingcast, I examine 1979's adaptation of Salem's Lot. But first, I read some listener e-mail. I then finish up the review with some recommendations. Enjoy!"
