Since it first aired on CBS in November 1979, Tobe Hooper’s miniseries Salem’s Lot has terrified and fascinated audiences. Based on Stephen King’s modern Gothic horror bestseller, David Soul stars as novelist Ben Mears, whose return to his quaint, idyllic hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot, Maine becomes a living nightmare. Intending to write away his childhood fears of the dreaded Marsten House, Mears finds himself battling a plague of vampires, led by the demonic Barlow (Reggie Nalder). With an outstanding supporting cast including James Mason, Bonnie Bedelia, and Lew Ayres, it remains a benchmark in made-for-TV horror.
       This heavily expanded second edition of Centipede Press’s 2014 study of Salem’s Lot delivers the definitive, 736-page account of the film’s development and production. The complete long-out-of-print first edition is included, featuring interviews with Tobe Hooper, David Soul, producer Richard Kobritz, James Mason, Reggie Nalder, Lance Kerwin, cinematographer Jules Brenner, and many others, illustrated with dozens of rare photographs, many now sharpened in higher resolution. Also included are deleted scenes from the teleplay plus a gallery of international poster images as well as fan art.
       And a jaw-dropping 400 pages of astonishing, never-before-published material has been added, including thoroughly detailed histories of early unfilmed Salem’s Lot feature film scripts by Stirling Silliphant and Larry Cohen; Robert Bloch’s unproduced pilot for a spinoff TV series, and treatments for episodes by other writers including a complete reproduction of a treatment by Stephen King; previously unpublished color and black and white photographs, including unseen behind-the-scenes shots; new interviews with the cast and crew, including titles designer Gene Kraft and Ron Scribner, who played child vampire Ralphie Glick; two 1979 interviews with Stephen King; new photos of the Los Angeles filming locations; affectionate remembrances of the late Tobe Hooper and David Soul; and much more.
