In many ways, Salem’s Lot is more gothic in its conventions and execution than Dracula. The novel is a sort of re-imagining of Stoker’s Dracula (the original title was The Second Coming), replacing the thriving metropolis of London in the late 19th century with a small town in an isolated corner of Maine in the 1970’s. (The 2004 movie was, in my humble opinion, abysmal). I’m only going to be discussing the more well-known 1979 version, which was directed by Tobe Hooper. Salem’s Lot is Stephen King’s second novel and has had two made-for-tv movie adaptations, one released in 1979 and the other in 2004.
