Stephen King's 1975 novel, Salem ’s Lot, was his second adapted work and the first made for TV, thanks to Tobe Hooper's miniseries in 1979 .

The book, of course, will always be the best version of the story, but it's an early King tale that contains a lot of his now-familiar touchstones.

The 2004 version of Salem ’s Lot, starring Rob Lowe as a dude-ly Mears, updated the action to the early 2000s .

Gary Dauberman's version is set in the 1970s with a retro burnish to match.

James Cromwell plays the boozy Father Callahan , making faith a more prominent theme.

The rest of the new cast includes Lewis Pullman ( Ben Mears ), Makenzie Leigh ( Susan Norton ), Bill Camp ( Matthew Burke ), Spencer Treat Clark ( Mike Ryerson ), Jordan Preston Carter ( Mark Petrie ), and John Benjamin Hickey (Father Callahan ) So far there’s no firm release date, but a recent Max press release promised “this October ”.
