Writer Gary Dauberman told Den of Geek in June 2019 that his goal with the new version of Salem’s Lot was to make vampires scary again

Line of Events

An author returns to his hometown of Jerusalem in search of inspiration for his next book, only to discover that the residents have been attacked by a bloodthirsty vampire. He wants to move away from the sexier, more romantic undead that have plagued pop culture for much of the last quarter century, thanks to everything from Interview with a Vampire to Twilight to The Vampire Diaries. When Ben reads old newspapers on microfilm at the library, one headline reads “Local Couples Victims of Drunk Driving.” The paper is believed to have been printed in 1956, at a time when the term “DUI” wasn’t yet in use. References Trog (1970).

Okay, I just watched one of my favorite Stephen King novels

I loved the 1979 version that I eagerly watched when I was 15. I had been waiting to watch it for a while at least since the rumors of a remake started. The movie wasn’t great, I gave it a six (which might be too generous) because the movie was watchable. I had so hoped that it would be remade with the same kind of writing and acting that “It” had when the last remake was made.

The acting was okay

Everything was a little off about this movie. The character development was basically non-existent. They could have done a lot better with developing some interest in the characters. I think the ending was rushed too much, the wild ending was terrible, some people should have slowed down a lot on that one!

Why remake something if not to make it great!

For that? Stephen King is a fantastic writer and if the production is done right it should be amazing. Very disappointed… The final season of “What We Do in the Shadows” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
