A master vampire, he influences such incidents in order to foster minions. These revelations spike until 'Barlow' arrives. The school bus driver bullies his charges, forcing them to walk home on occasion. Crockett molests his daughter Ruthie and fires Dud, a crippled employee she likes. Soon, the town's various secrets bubble up. However, owner Larry Crockett had sold it to Richard Straker and Kurt Barlow. Ben wants to rent the house and examine it for his novel and conscience. Ben claims to have heard Hughie begging to live before killing himself and also thinks he heard Hughie's last victim, but was too scared to do anything. He tells his friend, Susan Norton, that as a child, he was dared to enter Hughie Marsden's house. Ben was a successful writer who'd returned to Jerusalem's Lot (aka Salem's Lot), inspired to write while confronting his past. I think, not just lean on the jump scares, but lean on the more conceptual and visual things that, rather than a shock that fades out of your body in the next five minutes, something that’s more visual, like an imprint that burnt into your retinas as a disturbing image that you’ll wake up in the middle of the night that you can’t shake out of your head.Salem's Lot consists of flashbacks by Ben Mears. So I think it’s in good hands, Gary’s a really smart guy who has a keen eye for things. He’s a Stephen King hound dog so he doesn’t wanna do Stephen dirty. So there are some parts where Gary had to press and find what was really at the heart of the movie to keep in, but for the most part, he’s really true to the book and keeping a lot of the original dialogue in there. But also, the previous adaptation was a two-parter, because it’s such a hefty book and there are so many different moving parts and so many characters.

Gary Dauberman, the director, is really keen on doing justice to the book. Lewis Pullman had the following to say about the upcoming remake of Salem’s Lot in a chat with : Pullman: New Salem’s Lot True To The Book Posted: November 4, 2022, 23:39:42
