Given the resurgence of Stephen King’s novels getting the big – and small – screen treatment, it was only a matter of time before his classic vampire tale, Salem’s Lot, got put front and centre too.
And now Annabelle Comes Home witer/director Gary Dauberman has stepped up to take on the New Line movie.
Dauberman will be screenwriter on the project which will be produced by horror guru James Wan along with Roy Lee and Mark Wolper.
The story is, of course, iconic not just as the book but also for being the creepy 1979 miniseries which starred David Soul and was directed by horror legend Tobe Hooper. It had a sequel in 2004 and was remade (it’s ok, I don’t recall it either) in a 2004 tw-part series starring Rob Lowe.
If you like a good scare in the cinema, then Salem’s Lot – if done right – could be the thrill you’ve been waiting for.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
