While the plot of Salem’s Lot has nothing to do with the Hulu original series Castle Rock, Jerusalem’s Lot was a prominent setting of its second season. The 1979 miniseries spawned a feature-length sequel called Return to Salem’s Lot in 1987 and a remake starring Rob Lowe that aired over two nights on TNT in 2004. However, the original two-part event directed by Tobe Hooper (creator of one of the best horror movies of all time, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre) is not the only time this vampire story inspired a small screen project. Salem’s Lot follows in the footsteps of the It movies as a feature-length adaptation of the author’s work that was originally made for television as a limited series.

He will also produce The Tommyknockers, which is yet another theatrical update of a miniseries based on King novel.

The director of The Conjuring and its 2016 sequel shares a producing credit on the film with Dauberman and others, but it will not be the last Stephen King adaptation Wan is attached to. In April 2019, almost exactly a year before his colleague Gary Dauberman was confirmed to be at the helm, James Wan’s involvement with Salem’s Lot was officially announced. However, 2021’s Malignant showed he has not left his flagship genre behind and his involvement in this new Stephen King movie is further proof. The filmmaker, known for creepy modern classics like the first of the Saw movies or 2011’s Insidious, would also break into action flicks in 2015 with Furious 7 and is currently preparing his upcoming superhero movies follow-up with a sequel to Aquaman. Simply putting James Wan’s name on a poster is a good way to sell tickets these days, but that does not exclusively apply to horror movies anymore.
