Renowned author Stephen King recently expressed his confusion over Warner Bros.' delay in releasing the new film adaptation of his 1975 horror novel, 'Salem's Lot. The movie, which began development in 2019 and was filmed in Massachusetts in 2021, was initially slated for a theatrical release in September 2022 but has yet to hit screens as of 2024.
King, who has a substantial following on X, shared his positive impressions of the film with his 7.1 million followers, describing it as a testament to old-school horror filmmaking with a slow build and a satisfying payoff. Despite his praise, King questioned the studio's decision to withhold the movie, emphasizing that it is not due to any shortcomings in quality.
