Salem’s Lot (w/ Bob, Matt & Jeremy)

What’s up, dudes? Its one of the best vampire movies out there! Yes, I've got Bob Baker from Festive Foreign Film Fans,  Santa Ambassador Matt Spaulding from  North Pole Radio, and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa with me to talk Salem's Lot! It's a 1979 made for tv movie adaptation of Stephen King's classic novel, and it's dope!

When Ben Mears comes back to Jerusalem's Lot, he intends to research and write about the old Marsten House. He befriends a young college girl named Susan, and begins a relationship with her. Meanwhile, the house is bought by antiquities dealers Kurt Barlow and Richard Straker. Spoiler alert: Barlow's a master vampire and Straker's his familiar.

The town's denizens slowly begin disappearing, falling ill, and dying. As it turns out, Barlow's been transforming the Glick boys and others into vampires. Mears, Susan, and a few others, including a doctor, a teacher, and young boy named Danny, begin to fight back. After Fr. Callahan fails his crisis of faith and leaves, and after Susan is transformed and slain, the rest eventually kill Barlow and Straker. They set the town on fire, too.

Creepy old haunted house? Check. Creepy old antique shop? Uh huh. Creepy old blue skinned vampire with rat teeth? Only if it's a poor makeup job! So grab your stakes, fill up vials with holy water, and hunt during the daylight with this episode on "Salem's Lot!"
