Salem's Lot based on Stephen King's novel of the same name is an enjoyable movie despite it's slow pace. The movie was released on tv in 2 parts during the 70's. It stars acting legend James Mason as one of the villains and was directed by Tobe Hooper who made Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The movie has a spooky atmosphere which overcomes some of the wooden performances. Unlike most made-for-tv movies, Salem's Lot was shot on film, not video, which makes this an impressive hi-def presentation. I wanted to watch this movie many years ago when I was child. I don't remember why I missed the premiere, but I am glad that I watched it on blu-ray for the first time. The picture quality is outstanding. Salem's Lot may not compare to today's best horror movies, but it still is creepy

A Stephen King Classic Finally On Blu Ray

Though this was made for TV, on blu ray it looks far more polished and cinematic. A true classic, only reason I did not give it 5 stars is there are zero special features. For me audio commentary and a making of featurette should be mandatory, I cannot stand bare bones blu rays. Other than that, again the movie looks and sounds great, just beware it is full frame.

I watched Salem's Lot when it first aired on network TV and absolutely loved it! Very atmospheric and suspenseful - now finally gets the Blu Ray treatment and looks great - holds up quite well!

Holds Up To This Day

This is one of the best vampire movies especially based on one of the best vampire books written.
Since it was a TV movie from the 1970's, you probably wouldn't expect much but you'd be wrong. The story deviates from the book quite a bit but it makes up for that in creepiness and originality that holds up to this day.
I became a Stephen King fan as a high school student because of this movie and have not been disappointed since. This is another example of a great Best Buy exclusive steelbook and the print is great (the graininess from the TV print is intact).
Worth every penny.

I bought the blu-ray on a whim and I was transported back to my childhood watching this. Still holds up and is another reason why Tobe Hooper was a horror legend of a director.

This film scared me as a kid. It is a classic adaption of the King novel. The Blu-ray looks good for a '70s made for TV film. I highly recommend this for any horror fan.

More years ago than I care to remember, 'Salem's Lot was the first book I ever read by Stephen King. I have always been a horror fan, in books & movies, and though this filmed 'Salem's Lot was a TV film, it was very well done and retained it's scary atmosphere. Coincidentally, I reread the book not long ago when recovering from an operation, and it held up well. When I had the opportunity to pick up the Blu Ray recently, I took it and I must say, I probably enjoyed it even more this time around than I did originally back in the 70's.(Seems like a long time ago!) David Soul was never a favorite actor of mine, but he did a very creditable job in the lead role in this film. Tobe Hooper is a very experienced Horror Film director, having done the classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre, among many others, so all the elements clicked together well. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a creepy evenings viewing.

This movie looks so much better on Blu Ray!! It looked awful on VHS and that’s really what got me uninterested in it when I was younger...I could hear the people talk very well and the darn lighting was AWFUL! I’m so glad that it looks and sounds so much better now!! This is a classic Stephen King horror movie for sure! Definitely worth checking out if you’re into vampires and Stephen King books or movies!!

Salem's Lot, while not the most popular horror film out there, is made of the same ilk that the classics are and is a worthy viewing for any even casual fan of the genre. It creates a dense, consistent and creepy atmosphere that very much lends itself to the vampiric mythos that the film so passionately nourishes. The blu-ray transfer of this release is strong and I am also glad that the full-screen aspect ratio was kept intact as opposed to it being cropped to widescreen (and, in effect, losing part of its picture). At any rate, I highly recommend this gem to anyone with even a remote interest in horror films.

An almost Disney-like Scary Tale of Vampires!

Have been wanting this for a long time...
I didn't realize that it was an episodic release originally, but that kind of makes it neat too. Played this on our new 75" 4K tv and It really made the difference to the enjoyment and almost immersive.
This reminds me of Escape from Witch Mountain - so Very Disney-Like. - Classic of the era.
Enjoy the Show!~

I was very excited to see Salem’s Lot finally on Blu-ray. I had it on dvd but the quality of this version is much better. And it was available at a great price with steel case packaging. I remember watching the original miniseries when it first aired and it’s always been one of my favorites. Highly recommended.

"Salem's Lot" is my favorite adaptation of a Stephen King novel made for TV. It's very atmospheric and old fashioned horror at it's best! This blu-ray version looks great and got it at a great price @ Best Buy!!!

In my opinion, this is one of the most scariest made-for-TV movies ever made. The creepiness and frightening scenes are very well done. Who can forget the scene where the child vampire comes scratching on the window one evening. Highly recommend this movie and now it's even better on Blu-ray.

I remember when this was on T.V. when I was a kid, too scared to watch in then. I have had my V.C.R. copies and a DVD over the years but I was very happy with the quality of the case and movie transfer. I looks great next to my Stephen King collection of movies.

I have always been a big fan of anything that is vampire lore, and this classic always remains chilling and frightening. James Mason is never better. The tale remains chillingly haunting.
This memorable film has always been in my collection, and it's now such a real pleasure to have it in sparkling Blu Ray.

I loved Salem's Lot from the first time I read the Stephen King novel. I enjoyed the movie when it was originally released and enjoy it today. This move really holds up. Love the fact that it's on Blu-ray. The price was great also! Thanks Best Buy.

This is a great movie one of my all time favorites it is a long movie 3 hours I think but it doesn’t get boring the story moves really well. This Steelbook version is better then the old one because this 1 comes with a digital HD code.
