blackhawkrush Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Salem's Lot scene in the vampire's lair, very reminiscent of the original Nosferatu stuff. Very scary. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best made for TV movies ever. I saw it when it premiered, and when that scene came on I was of course glued to the TV. Just after David Soul opened the coffin, the movie was interrupted by the network for some bullshit special report and I missed the whole scene. They couldn't have timed that any worse -- it was like they waited to cut in at that exact moment just to troll everybody. I didn't get to see that scene until years later as YouTube or Netflix hadn't been invented yet. I was a huge fan of Starsky and Hutch too.

I watched it in 1980 when it was first broadcast on UK TV. At the time I hadn't heard of Stephen King, I didn't even know what the story was about, which made it even better. It's probably the best vampire film of all time, definitely the best TV movie. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first appearance of Barlow in the jail is the scariest scene. That scared the crap out of me and it still does! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they managed to get all the important stuff in over the 3 hours and the atmosphere and tone was just right. It's a great cast too with lots of quality veterans and solid character actors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like he used certain little things to enhance the believability of the character, like when Parkins Gillespie is questioning him about the missing boys he takes a quick guilty look at the knife in his hand as he lies about not seeing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
