Salem's Lot tells the story of Ben Mears, a writer who returns to his hometown to find something extremely strange happening within it. The Stephen King vampire novel was originally released back in 1979 and has become something of a cult classic in the following years. It has already been adapted numerous times with varying results, and horror expert Gary Dauberman, involved in such projects as Stephen King's It and The Conjuring, is the latest to take a stab at bringing it to life on screen for HBO Max.
