Salem’s Lot sees writer Ben Mears return to his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot, Maine, after 25 years away. He’s come to write a book about a long-abandoned house formerly owned by a hitman, where he once had a terrifying experience as a child. But someone has moved in — a man by the name of Kurt Barlow, an Austrian immigrant who has opened a local antique shop with the help of a business partner. Soon after their arrival, a young boy in the town goes missing while another seemingly turns up dead. This begins happening more frequently, with some returning as something other than their human selves.
Ben and a small group of locals including a doctor and priest band together, and discover that Barlow is actually an ancient vampire and the culprit behind the recent deaths and disappearances. As the ragtag group attempts to stop him from turning more people, a bloody battle ensues over the soul of the town. This is, at least, the story as King told it — and based on his social media missive, the version he wants to see on the screen. But as the horror author and his fans know, not every adaptation of his work is a close translation of his material.
