Yesterday, horrormeister Stephen King tweeted: “SALEM’S LOT trailer is coming. It’s a good one.” And now that the trailer has arrived, it’s confirmed King was telling the truth. There’s a lot packed into the two-minute trailer, and it effectively captures the creepy, suspenseful, and terrifying vibe.
The film stars Lewis Pullman as Ben Mears, Alfre Woodard as Dr. Cody, Makenzie Leigh as Susan Norton, and Bill Camp as Matthew Burke. Spencer Treat Clark plays Mike Ryerson, Pilou Asbæk is Straker, and John Benjamin Hickey is Father Callahan.
“Author Ben Mears returns to his childhood home of Jerusalem’s Lot in search of inspiration for his next book only to discover his hometown is being preyed upon by a bloodthirsty vampire,” reads Max’s synopsis. Gary Dauberman (Annabelle Comes Home) adapted Stephen King’s bestselling 1975 novel and directs. Dauberman’s also an executive producer along with Mark Wolper, Vertigo’s Roy Lee, and Atomic Monster’s James Wan and Michael Clear.
Stephen King’s popular vampire novel was adapted into a miniseries in 1979 starring David Soul, James Mason, Fred Willard, and Bonnie Bedelia. And in 2004, Rob Lowe, Andre Braugher, Samantha Mathis, and Donald Sutherland starred in a two-episode miniseries. This theatrical adaptation was filmed back in 2021 and originally targeted an October 2022 theatrical release. Those plans were scrapped, and instead, Salem’s Lot will premiere on Max on Thursday, October 3, 2024.
