The upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot from director Gary Dauberman (Annabelle Comes Home) is releasing on Max October 2024. Vanity Fair shared some first look images of the film, along with an interview with Dauberman today, some of which you can check out below.

Vanity Fair describes the film as being, “more sensational side. It has Our Town overtones but mirrors the lurid humor and macabre extremism of late-night grindhouse thrillers of its ’70s era—when disco ruled, collars were wide, and midnight movies knew how to walk on the wild side.”

In Salem’s Lot (2024), “Haunted by an incident from his childhood, author Ben Mears returns to his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot in search of inspiration for his next book, only to discover the town is being preyed upon by a bloodthirsty vampire and his loyal servant.”

The cast includes Lewis Pullman, Makenzie Leigh, Alfre Woodard, Bill Camp, John Benjamin Hickey, Nicholas Crovetti, Jordan Preston Carter, William Sadler, Spencer Treat Clark, Cade Woodward, Debra Christofferson, and Pilou Asbaek.
