The biggest surprise is that the movie will actually be heading to theaters ahead of a release on HBO Max after 45 days.

The latest iteration will be the first time the story has been produced for a big screen release.Īccording to a new report by Bloody Disgusting, the long-in-production movie of Salem’s Lot will arrive this fall, and considering the number of delays and changes that the project has gone through it will come as a relief to King’s fans that the date seems to be holding. The classic tale of vampires taking over a small town is one of King’s best-known works and has already been adapted for television twice, once in 1979 in the best-known version directed by Tobe Hooper and starring David Soul, and again in 2004, starring Rob Lowe and Donald Sutherland. While Stephen King fans are yet to see any footage from the latest adaptation of Salem’s Lot, the movie has landed itself a release date of September 9 exclusively in cinemas and not on HBO Max as originally expected.
