10 Most Anticipated Horror Movies Still To Come In 2023
6. Salem's Lot
It's no secret that Stephen King adaptations have always been hit and miss. For every great King adaption like Carrie and Firestarter, there are… the remakes of Carrie and Firestarter.
However, one story that deserves another shot is Salem's Lot. Based on King's second book, Salem's Lot centres around an author and a horror fan, who take it upon themselves to save their town from a horde of ancient vampires.
Even though the Salem's Lot mini-series from 1979 is remembered fondly, the classic story has remained mostly dormant for decades. Return to Salem's Lot was absolutely atrocious, and the less said about the Rob Lowe remake, the better.
But with Annabelle and Swamp Thing writer, Gary Dauberman, overseeing the latest reboot, things are looking good. Not only does Dauberman have a talent for exploring paranormal stories, he's proven highly capable of adapting King's work, since he penned the script for the massively successful IT. Since Dauberman clearly has a knack for getting into Stephen King's head, let's hope he knocks it out of the park with his Salem's Lot adaptation.
