Stephen King's vampire tale, Salem ’s Lot, will debut on Max this October .

The 1975 novel was only his second book, after Carrie , combining the gothic sensibilities of Dracula with the idyllic Americana of Norman Rockwell .

It has been a journey of many years for writer-director Gary Dauberman , who signed on after proving his King bona fides.

Salem ’s Lot stars Lewis Pullman as author Ben Mears , a best-selling writer who has become persona non grata after publishing a book that was a little too true-to-life for the residents of his old stomping grounds.

Dauberman says he wanted someone who could be the straight man to all the stuff that's going on around him.

Stephen King’s original book was heavily influenced by Dracula and other popular culture stuff.

Director Max Dauberman 's version of Salem 's Lot is inspired by classic films like Sugar Hill and Sugar Hill .

The film will be presented exclusively on Max , which premieres on October 31 .
