Salem’s Lot author Stephen King recently offered his opinion on the as yet unreleased movie adaptation of his novel.
The Big Picture Iconic horror author Stephen King has shared his thoughts on the upcoming on-screen remake of his famed novel, Salem’s Lot. Taking to X to give future audiences his opinion, King revealed that he had seen the production which has been “currently shelved” by Warner Bros.
As is to be expected in adaptations, King writes, “There are diversions from the book I don’t agree with, but on the whole, faithful.” He also teased his favorite scene from the upcoming production, “Danny Glick in the hospital, trying to claw down a blood bag.” Giving praise to the film’s director, The Conjuring Universe’s Gary Dauberman, King likened his work to “John Carpenter in his prime.”
In the film, a writer named Ben Mears takes a break from his busy life to return to his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot to find the inspiration and energy to write a new novel. Instead, the author finds nothing but trouble as he discovers that the town is in the grips of a bloody battle with an ancient vampire known as Barlow.
