This scared the hell out of me when I was a child back then. Generally speaking, vampires aren't usually very scary, except in this mini-series. Never before or since have vampires been so creepy. The remake of Salem's Lot that came on years later was awful and the vampires were laughable. I know this mini-series deviates from the novel, but I don't care because it really is a good movie with great performances and great atmosphere.

[@funkyweapon1981]

Vampires in folklore are way scarier.

[@kingcaesar3693]

i actually like the remake.

[@jamiebraswell5520]

@@kingcaesar3693 I was extremely let down with the remake. I watched it when it originally aired on TNT, though I have never revisited it. My biggest gripe with it was the vampires themselves. They just weren't scary and fell victim to what most all other on screen vampires fall victim too...goofy makeup and special effects. Their super speed power came across more like an Xmen mutant power than a vampire. It is all about the way it is put to screen, not showing too much, and surrounding the vampire with a good atmosphere that adds to the creepiness.

[@jamiebraswell5520]

@@funkyweapon1981 of course...they are far more ghoulish in folklore and a far cry from these hip cool vampires that every teenager fancies themselves as being these days. At least the old Salem's Lot doesn't glamorize being a vampire.

I would argue a lot of miniseries are being made today. How so? Well, in my opinion a lot of streaming show "seasons" are structured more like miniseries - a single story chopped in multiple parts - than an actual episodic tv show, where each episode is a single story with a beginning/middle/end, even if there is a ongoin storyline from episode to episode.

[@briankelly130]

I think to qualify as a mini-series, it can't be over maybe 4 episodes. I think a lot of the Stephen King mini-series' were like 2-3 episodes long and tended to be 90 minutes each.

[@LittleMissLounge]

I figure those "4-night event" shows are basically a "cooler" way of describing a miniseries.

[@annvictor9627]

I recall that when I read the novel, it was 'SALEM'S LOT, not "Salem's Lot," because it was short for "Jerusalem's Lot". That's why I mentally pronounced the town's name as "Sah-lem's" Lot, not "Say-lem". I was annoyed by the whole "Salem's Lot" business in 1979. I'd forgotten that the mini-series even referred to the town as "Jerusalem's Lot" in a scene. The snob in me has her nose held high and gives a sniff of disdain.

This was the first horror movie my parents ever let me watch because they wanted to watch it too. It scared the shit out of me when I was 9, and I still feel that reaction when I see the grave-digging scene or the bedroom window scene. The next weekend I borrowed the book from the library and read it in like 4 days, and my lifelong love of everything Stephen King was born, even the "bad" stuff. I was banned from watching most horror "trash" but my parents considered reading to be high-culture and educational, so they didn't look twice at anything I borrowed from the library. They even bragged about what "thick" books their 9 year old son was reading. I had finished reading all of King's books (at that time) before I turned 11 and my parents would finally let me watch "Halloween" at my friend's house on VHS. They had no idea that I had already read much, much worse and that Halloween was kind of a tame experience, still scary, but not nearly as graphic as some of the shit I had read.

Controlling parents much, lol. How is your relationship with them these days?

@@thedys70 I don't know if parents not allowing their kid to watch horror movies until they are 11 is exactly "controlling". Pretty lenient I'd say.

[@thedys70]

@@MandleRoss Actually, I can see both sides of the debate. I was more inclined to nag the folks to let me watch whatever the other kids at school [1980s] told me was scary. Been a horror movie tragic ever since, and enjoyed many of the King adaptions.

I met Lloyd Kaufman of Troma at a film fest in Sydney. He was drunk(ish). I would expect nothing less.
