Interview with Lance Kerwin, "Mark Petrie" from Salem's Lot.

[@plissken2245]

The teenager who stood up to Barlow. RIP, Lance.

[@DannyEverything101]

RIP

[@DaveH-10]

I had to re post here as a way to pay my respects to Lance. I did get a chance to meet Lance this past year. He was very easy to talk to was not afraid to talk about certain mistakes in his life. He was just a very genuine kind person when I met him and he really loved his fans. I am very sad to learn of his passing but today I remember what I felt after meeting him. He had seemed to finally have found peace with his life. I will always remember him that way.

[@DannyEverything101]

You're so right. Genuine guy. So glad you got to meet him.

[@mananimal3644]

He was my first Hollywood crush. I had so much puppy love for him. Adam Rich. Lisa Marie. I feel very mortal right now.

[@ElizabethOlivar-j9v]

God bless his family

[@andygossard4293]

I saw him talk to another dude at a convention just a couple of months later, on YT, then three months after that he passed of heart ailment issues it says. Seems rather sudden because he's talking animatedly and w detailed anecdotes. So it's hard for us to understand what happened.

[@krjna5356]

Lance was one of if not the best young teen actor back in the 70's & 80's, and he will truly be missed. "Salems Lot" is still the best Vampire movie ever. R.I.P. Lance we will miss you!

[@rogerdanis.]

I am heart broken 💔....I wish I would have found this sooner because I would have written to Lance and told him how much I admire him.

[@DannyEverything101]

[@JulieHannah-lg7fy]

I feel the same way 💯

[@kingsman8475]

Lance, you did not have to do this interview. You saw so much in Hollywood, good and bad. I think Hollywood was esstially the Vampie in "Salem's Lot." Thank you, sir!! God Bless the Kerwin family.

[@DannyEverything101]

I was so honored he agreed to the interview. Such a great guy.

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

Both Lance and David Soul gone within a year of each other. But the film lives on forever with both Lance and David Soul now immortal in the evolution of the vampire genre

[@DannyEverything101]

So sad, but I'm so glad we have this movie.

[@jasonw6688]

Lance-ky and Hutch, together again. RIP Lance and David.

[@sadalite]

His voice is exactly the same as it was when he was a teenager

[@DannyEverything101]

It really does sound the same.

[@geoffjoffy]

I'm told I look younger than my years but I was there in 1979 aged 17 to watch Salem's Lot when it was first screened. Let me tell you I never slept for a week. Haha. Now, 43 years on, it's still the best horror movie for chills and scares I have ever seen. Even in 2022 I would never watch it at night in the dark with the lights turned off and I am 60 years old. Haha. Thanks for the interview.

[@DannyEverything101]

I completely understand. It brings back all the fear we had as kids. Powerful movie.

[@geoffjoffy]

@@DannyEverything101 Yes - and I have seen some real terror in my life but this movie is still effective with its scares.

[@manuelfedericocachazasanju5294]

DAVID WOULD SAID YEARS AND YEARS AFTER 1979 RELEASE THAT EVEN HE WAS IN THE FILM WITH THE OTHER ACTORS,WHEN ...HE SAW THE FILM BACK HE SAID THAT IT DID STILL GIVE HIM THE CHILLS....IMAGINE THE REST OF US ! 😱😱😱😱😂😂,THE ATMOSPHERE AND TENSION DURING THE WHOLE FILM YOU CAN NOT FIND IT IN ANY HORROR FILM OF TODAY....ALL CHARACTERS WERE PLAYED BY ALL THE ACTORS,INCLUDING DAVID DAVID SOULAND BONNIE BEDELLIA ! 💖💖💖🙏🙏👍🐐🐐😱😱😱

@@manuelfedericocachazasanju5294 The movie was cut down from 3 hours to about 90 minutes for a DVD release I think. Anyone watching this has to watch the whole 3 hours, for atmosphere and perspective.

[@The7Portals]

RIP Lance. This is also my favorite movie of all time, I've seen it hundreds of times. My dad used to show this movie to me and siblings when we were little, and we would hide behind the couch whenever Barlow would appear. Still spooks me out till this day. Everything about this movie is pure gold. It has aged so well. Reminds me of the greatest years of my life. This movie has a distinct vibe to it, it's not just a horror movie, it's an embodiment of the late 70's with the visuals, sounds effects, music, incredible practical effects and so much more. It's hard to explain, it's just perfect. I've memorized every line in this movie. Straker is clearly the best character and the most memorable. "Mr. Barlow is on a buying trip, but the moment he arrives...you'll enjoy Mr. Barlow, and he'll enjoy you." "I think that an evil house attracts evil men." "The house was a monument to the evil, sitting there all those years holding the essence of evil in it's smoldering bones." "monument? who's monument? The Marsten House?" "Careful, you move that barrel Larry and I'll blow you away." "Back holy man! Back shaman! Back priest! He'll cut the boy's throat." "There are no atheists in foxholes." "get out! I revoke my invitation!" "Ned Tebbet's body has disappeared from the morgue and the baby that died this morning is gone." "I have a very valuable, uh sideboard, a Hepplewhite that has to be picked up" "Still married? Still no children?" "That's who he is, return of the native, or is it the prodigal son?" "Sweetest singing I ever heard" " as much as I believe that trees have souls." "Don't look at him!" "sleep like the dead, teacher!" "he killed my parents!" "keep your eye on him, and your mouth shut." "I have two black suits, they're up at the house." I could be here all day lol stating my favorite lines. Anyhow thanks for the video. Lance will be deeply missed.

[@DannyEverything101]

You are so right. We are in Ferndale right now where they filmed it and we had to watch the movie last night. We were all sitting there quoting it.

Great interview. Mark was an empowering character for me as a child. It wasn’t often, back then, for a teenager to be portrayed with that kind of strength - driving away vampires from his window and telling Barlow he’s going to kill him.

[@DannyEverything101]

Thank you. Great point.

[@bramlintrent1145]

Absolutely. I expect every young boy watching the show in 1979 hoped he could exhibit the bravery of Mark Petrie in the face of danger.

Dr Danny...you must be so proud of filming this just a few months ago. Thank you. Really sad, really touched to hear this news tonight somewhat late...a month late in fact. Well done for persuading him to give this interview. Don't know much about this actor, only through Salem's Lot as UK audiences might not have followed this actor's career but that one TV mini series shown on BBC 1 late Friday night in 79 or 80,made a big impact. Condolences to his family and friends.

Sad news about Lance, I'm happy you had a chance to interview him when you did. I'm also fond of the 1979 Salem's lot movie and was happy when the blu ray was finally released. I saw several of Lance's shows & movies. 'The boy who drank too much' I saw when I was 11 years old. Sadly I haven't seen 'James at 15' to this day but vaguely remember it being on the air.

Glad I can do this. You're right, still amazing!

[@Vort317545]

It's so sad that Lance Kerwin is no longer with us. As a 70s kid. I loved every role he did in film and television. He brought class and intellectualism to every role. Really looked up to the dude! Especially as Mark Petrie. I wanted to be Mark when I grew up! The Classic Film Monster nerd turned heroic Vampire Hunter. Salem's Lot the miniseries is a Masterpiece! Very interesting to see that his voice didn't change in old age. That's very rare!

[@jm7804]

You did a wonderful job with the interview. It was a lot like herding cats. Just keeping him on topic was pretty much impossible. That's what a lifetime of substance abuse will leave you with. I feel sad about it. I had no idea what happened to him. I remember crushin on Lance in the 70s and 80s. I would watch anything he was in. I really didn't even know what it meant at the time.

[@DannyEverything101]

Thank you so much. We kept getting disconnected and had to restart. Glad I finally got it.

Thank you! It was definitely a challenge, especially with the tech issues we had.

[@globophil]

Indescribably Mark Petrie. This was only 8 months ago and as you watch and listen, you hear the tenor of Lance and therefore Mark. So sad to hear this news. The mini series Salem's Lot was absolutely a landmark production given the standards of that time and Mark, as a warrior fighting against this disease with Ben at his side, an odd combination, but worked so well. Rest now. You'll be missed.

[@MichaelSteverMLS]

👍👍👍This interview is absolute Gold dust and I'm only a quarter way in! Thank you so much for finding Lance and giving him a platform to share his experiences on the Salem's Lot set. The never to be topped, scary as Hell 1979 original was twice as long and TEN TIMES more engaging than this newest, thoroughly unnecessary 2024 remake. The young kid playing Mark Petrie is cute but couldn't hold a candle to Lance Kerwin in the role and seemed way too young. He also failed in conveying the real adolescent fear for the horrors awaiting Salem's Lot. Further his camaraderie with Ben Mears was non existent and his puffed up 'Super Hero' shtick felt about as authentic as a Rock'Em Sock'Em Robot. Further I was appalled how this remake shamelessly ripped off the now historic 'window' visitations not to mention the hospital 'awakening' and without nearly the skill or spine chilling cinematic nuance. Give me taped together tongue depressors as a cross ANY DAY over some ridiculous, glowing CGI garbage... but WOW Alfre Woodard's hair sure looked great! LOL, Judas Priest...🙄

[@DannyEverything101]

Thank you for your kind words. The '79 classic is unbeatable and will always give me that feeling of fear I had as a kid.

It was incredibly well made considering all the effects were real and no digital stuff. And of course, frightening as hell. The scene with Geoffrey Lewis in the rocking chair has never left me after all these years. The build up of Matt Burke hearing a bump, and then walking upstairs with the crucifix was high class cinema. When Ryerson looked up and those eyes shone, I was scared witless !

@Everything-hw4jb I found a DVD on eBay. Is there a DVD of the whole miniseries? I'm glad I found this version now as well. Something funny... when Ralphie is a vampire, he looks *just like* my younger nephew. Who knew his doppelganger was a vampire from 1979. 😅 I also have the book, so now that I have faces for the characters, I'm more inclined to read the book.

[@boogiewoogit5597]

That story about the drunk dude seeing the scary house, had me laughing my ass off. Classic.

I'm so happy I got this interview.

Many thanks for this 👍👍👍👍

You're welcome! It was my privilege.

Just heard Lance Kerwin passed away. 🙏🏿😕

[@DannyEverything101]

Very sad. RIP

[@morey1968]

Fantastic stuff, always great to see your interviews.

[@DannyEverything101]

Thank you so much!

[@ConglomerationCat]

So looking forward to this!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnbleakley4125]

So sad that he's not with us to see the new one, when it eventually materialises !! 😥 And such a sad loss, to his family, friends and fans !! 😥 He was perhaps a little too old to play the pivotal role of young monster fan Mark Petrie, in Hooper's original, buy he realy did make the role his own, due to his great acting and he was believable as the character. R.I.P, Lance. Much loved, admired and missed by us all 😥👌👌🙏🙏🌷🌷❤️💯

[@DannyEverything101]

A very sad loss, but so fondly remembered by fans of this movie.

[@johnbleakley4125]

@@DannyEverything101 yes indeed! 😥 👌👌🙏🙏💯

[@texashsad]

You sound the same, Lance. :)

[@DannyEverything101]

You're right!

[@manuelfedericocachazasanju5294]

HIS VOICE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHEN HE PLAYED THE CHARACTERS OF MARK IN THE FILM ....I'M BAFLED ! 😱😱💖🙏

[@DannyEverything101]

True! I've heard a lot of people say that.

[@manuelfedericocachazasanju5294]

@@DannyEverything101 IT A FACT ! 🤔🤔

[@2ndlifeseekers282]

If you didn't know his back story you would say he's an addict. I think he was on something here. Its sad, he was a brilliant actor. 😭

[@vf602maricopa5]

I've said it before and I will always say it. The studios missed a great chance to turn Salem's Lot into a series. With Lance Kerwin and David Soul as the primary stars fighting off vampires as they are being followed. The on screen chemistry between the two very good actors was palpable and believable as well as the audience was routing for them. It's a cinematic shame that it never worked out that way

[@DannyEverything101]

That would have been really interesting to see.

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

As a follow-up to *Salem's Lot,* Lance was also cast in a production of Stephen King's *Children of the Corn,* but unfortunately that version of it was never produced.

[@vf602maricopa5]

Hey it could still become a reality now. They are both still alive. A horror suspense film......reuniting them all these years later and we get a back story of what Been and Mark have been up to since that ending scene with Susan in Guatemala or Mexico. And we find out the creepy bloodsuckers are still after them. It would be fantastic and be a big money maker

[@RichardEKranz]

Excellent.

[@DannyEverything101]

Thanks!

[@BrettOwen71]

I just found out that Lance sadly passed away the year after this interview. Such a wonderfully talented actor and he seemed like a genuine and sweet person.

[@carstenkoloc5226]

One of the best Vampire-movie I ever saw. All actors play amazing-James Mason and his (real)wife fantastic Lew Ayres Lance Kerwin and DavidSoul unforgettable these both Vampire boys amazing and all the others in this movie play great. Top Movie 10/10 Level bottom and especially from my personal side 5 snare drums.🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁. 🎥🎞🎬✌️😜👍🚀🚀…

[@DannyEverything101]

I agree. So well-done.

[@frankbolander2239]

Danny,Great methodical point by point interview!...Maybe u could try and contact Brad Savage again for an interview!..P.S. Great question about the shove into the table in basement scene, I always wanted to ask about that!

[@DannyEverything101]

Glad you liked the interview. I have sent a message to Brad. He read it but didn't respond so I assumed he's not interested.

[@MikeyPSan]

Brilliant 👌

[@DannyEverything101]

Thank you!

[@outpost31737]

Good interview although I'd like to know more about Reggie Nalder and what he was like on set.

[@DannyEverything101]

It's interesting that he really didn't see much of Reggie. Strange .

[@outpost31737]

@@DannyEverything101 Must have been deliberate so that Mark's reactions were more authentic but seeing Reggie in make up must have been amusing at the same time what with the finger nails falling off.

[@Jonura]

Yes!!!

[@DannyEverything101]

Hope you like it!

[@Jonura]

Great great interview. I've loved It . By the way i sent you an email. Thank youuuu for this awesome job. 👍👍👍👍

[@donnacaldwell3267]

I wish I could find an unedited copy of the original on dvd. Every one I’ve seen is chopped up so bad you can’t tell what’s going on.

[@DannyEverything101]

That would be amazing.

[@thedys70]

Donna, the two part mini series length was 183 minutes - is that the DVD running time you are wanting to find? Can we swing you into buying the bluray, or failing that, I'm sure it is available on streaming services... The hatchet movie edit was under two hours.

[@jamiegormer1010]

They should of cast him in the remake ,would of been a great homage to the original

[@DannyEverything101]

Definitely!
