A Return to Salem’s Lot

A Return to Salem’s Lot has a town called Salem’s Lot and vampires. Beyond that, this direct-to-video release has no ties to Tobe Hooper’s 1979 TV mini-series or Stephen King’s original novel. But helmed by the director of The Stuff and It’s Alive, is this 80s film a fun time? Listen to Arnie, Jakob, and Stuart’s review to find out!

New Podcast: One For the Road (from the Night Shift Collection) by Stephen King

Some questions lingered when Stephen King’s ‘Salem’s Lot ended. Were all the vampires killed? Due to the success of the novel, and to help publicize the paperback edition of the book, the author returned to the Maine town of Jerusalem’s Lot for his short story “One For the Road.” Taking place several years after vampires first settled in Maine, King tells the story of three men who must venture into the ghost town to rescue a stranded woman and child.

The story was first published in Maine Magazine, then reprinted in Stephen King’s first short story collection Night Shift, and is now appended to paperback and eBook versions of ‘Salem’s Lot. What happened in the story and is it worth the quick read? Listen to Arnie’s review to find out in this podcast continuing our Stephen King series!

And join Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob at nowplayingpodcast.com to hear their reviews of the three ‘Salem’s Lot TV and movie adaptations!
