Salems Lot Mini Series (1979) 4K Ultra HD

Author Ben Mears returns to the town of Salem’s Lot after 25 years to write about the Marsten House, an old mansion with a bad reputation that has haunted him since childhood. But the sleepy town of Ben’s youth is beginning to change: an antiques store run by the mysterious Richard Straker and his unseen partner Mr. Barlow has opened, and a series of deaths and disappearances leads Ben to suspect a vampire is feeding on the town.

With a script by Paul Monash and direction from Tobe Hooper, this adaptation brings Stephen King’s small-town terror to vivid life. The cast includes David Soul, James Mason, Lance Kerwin, Bonnie Bedelia, Fred Willard, Geoffrey Lewis and Elisha Cook Jr.
