Salem's Lot 1979.
Successful novelist and a young horror fan team up to rid a small town of vampires.
Who da thought Hutch would make a good vampire hunter?
Made for tv series 40 years ago and still holds out as a great vampire entertainment. David Soul is great as the novelist Ben Mears returning to his childhood town with the arrivals of Mr Richard Straker played brilliantly by James Mason Who is mysterious and well spoken, also a watchdog/protector for Mr Kurt Barlow played menancingly by Reggie Nalder, who went through a tough time being made up to look creepy with the contact lenses. Tobe Hooper done a great job with Stephen King's novel in bringing it life. It still has it's suspense moments and dark moments with the vampires eyes light up and glaring in the basement.
