Despite being held in almost total disregard by horror film cinephiles, Tobe Hooper's adaptation of Stephen King's Salem's Lot (1979) remains a fan favorite, and easily ranks as one of the most popular horror films ever created for television. This is the first book-length critical commentary ever published on this film, and contains many new interviews, behind-the-scenes stills, poster artwork, and other extras.
