Ya no hacen vampiros como antes. ¿Qué tal la atmósfera de la casa Marsten (que todavía huele a Leatherface)? ¿Qué tal Barlow: cruza de Orlok con los del Blue Man Group? ¿Y qué tal Ralphie en la ventana, llamando a su hermano Mark?

Y James Mason.

It looks dated now but put into context this TV movie was probably quite spooky back in 1979. The look of the main vampire was taken straight from Nosferatu and it's quite surprising how much of the original Fright Night borrowed from this.

I enjoyed the 1st part but couldnt get into the 2nd part. Yes, it's viewed as iconic & classic but I guess you had to be there at the time. Some of the acting is suspect & it's dated quite a bit.

Having not read the book, but heard a lot of positives about the film, I was quite looking forward to it. However, I felt somewhat let down. The story has a slight aura of misogyny and takes a while to find its feet.

There are a couple of iconic moments, but a lot of the film is filler. The characters are generally on the wrong side of annoying and the acting is TV-film standard at best.

Made for TV miniseries based on Steven King's classic vampire novel. An author returns to Salem's Lot, the town where he grew up. He is there to write a novel about the the town's haunted house. Recently the house has been bought by antique dealers. Soon children start to go missing and becoming mysteriously ill. A very creepy film and one of the better King adaptations.

A great creepy Stephen King movie! Barlow is an awesome vampire!

It's still as good as I remember it from years ago. Still surprises me this was made for tv. Scary!

spooky stuff

gave me nightmares for years

Tobe Hooper directs this 3 hour Mini series from 1979. Based on a Stephen King novel and involving Vampires coming to a small town called Salems lot, it doesnt really get away from tv qualitu but some great Monster make up and Spooky moments when needed coming into play.

La vi en la Cineteca, hace dos años exactamente. Me pareció una joya. Aunque a la gente le diera risa el vampiro. Era 1979 y aún así sí da miedo.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
