The new Salem’s Lot movie’s vampire may look nothing like what was written in Stephen King’s pages, but the team took inspiration from one of the scariest fanged beasts in entertainment, the vamp from the 1979 adaptation of, you guessed it, Salem’s Lot. And the movie is all the better for it, says producer Michael Clear.
"Tobe Hooper’s Barlow had haunted all of us," Clear tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Terrifier 3 on the cover and hits newsstands on October 2. "When something like that is in your nightmares you would be doing a disservice to the movie by not bringing to life the thing that was terrifying to you."
