10 Upcoming Horror Movies That Will Scare The S**t Out Of You
5. Salem's Lot
Director: Gary Dauberman
Starring: Lewis Pullman, Pilou Asbæk, Spencer Treat Clark
Release Date: 9 September 2022
Stephen King's source material has been adapted for cinema, TV, and radio on several occasions. Though, this is the first adaptation intended to be seen on the big screen (the 1979 version was a TV double-parter that had a limited cinematic release.) It remains one of King's best known and loved works.
King's second novel sees a writer head back to his hometown of Jerusalem's Lot in search of a cure for writer's block. What he finds the town at the mercy of a vampire.
In his role of writer and director, Gary Dauberman aims to make vampire's scary again, and in a 2019 interview with Den of Geek he elaborated:
“[This aim] is why I said, ‘Hey, can we make a movie of this?’ Because we haven’t seen that in a really long time and they should be terrifying, and the novel’s terrifying, and it’s !*$% great to work on. I can’t wait to bring it to the big screen, we’ve seen it on the smaller screen and it’s going to be awesome on the big screen.”
