While author Stephen King has always been known as the master of horror, screen adaptions of his books have always been hit-or-miss with general audiences. Some films have become beloved icons, such as Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (despite Kings lack of enthusiasm for that particular adaption). Others fail to garner the same love, such as The Langoliers, and become the subject of debate among fans with differing opinions. Yet the upcoming Max adaption of Salems Lot has many buzzing, thanks to the focus on the unique timeline and the chilling cinematography featured in the trailer of the film. Yet, there is a more significant connection the film shares with Stephen King and his loyal readers, and that is its connection to The Dark Tower series.
