  • Can everyone STOP saying Stephenie Meyer's a whore? I'm not a Twi-hard, I just enjoy her writing and characters, and just because none of the haters here will ever be as successful as her doesn't mean you can bitch about her for the sake of it. I like Twilight. I like Salem's Lot. Vampires are just cool, can we not argue about the different versions?!?!?!?!?!??!

  • @stargleekminion : well vampires are cool indeed...but the twilight vampires are not vampires, they are boring emo teens which sparkle in the sunlight and live forever.

  • Well, there certainly is a powerful market for realistic vampires such as Mr. Barlow in the original Salem's Lot; because that's what people want to see. But the current state of affairs in Hollywood won't allow for it. They won't make a film today that dosen't have a political message about gender-confused little bi-sexual boys and "Justin Bieber" style vampires. It's just not politically correct. The independant studios will have to rise up and give the public what it wants. Hollyweird wont'!

  • The vamps in 30 Days of Night kick all other vamps asses, those motherfuckers are hardcore and would gladly floss the glitter out of their razor sharp shark like teeth after a healthy Twilight snack. Perfect killing machines, the dude even has to BE one to get RID of them. (I ignore the sequel and webisodes since they had no money.) And the only reason they would fight over a girl is which artery to slurp, notwho gets to date her! LMFAO

  • Welcome to my channel there is Salem Lot PL 

  • This movie sucks the book is much better.Barlow was the only one that i liked in this movie

  • @MegaGoodoldtimes well, now, actually, this movie, DESPITE it's flaws and alterations, was still very good. I don't remember the original, but ish actually quite good.

    and yes, barlow rules!

  • this could be one of the greatest vampire movies ever, hopefully this twihard/true blood vampire fad pays off somewhat by getting a director to make this into a worthy feature film

  • My favorite movie ;D

    Great atmosphere, great plot, great and scary vampires... what else can someone need? xD

    -- ι ℓσνє ѕαℓєм'ѕ ℓσт --

  • I've not seen this movie, is it as amazing as the 1979 original? Is Mr. Barlow a Nosferatu-type vampire in this one?

  • @rocky01542 this one follows the novel a little closer in terms of character but is placed in the modern world .

    Definitely worth the 3 hours although you will still miss some bits like with every adaptation .

  • @SirJeffreyDahmer

    Thanks, I wasn't expecting such a fast reply. Lol.

    I just bought the remake today and it is in the post.

  • @rocky01542 enjoy the remake .

    This one is worth the effort unlike some other remakes that are out there .

    Fright Night for example .

  • some of this was filmed in my town, at the graveyard i remember being young and seeing all the camera crew and everything set up, and fake snow everywhere was awesome to see as a young kid :)

  • I admit: I love Twilight. I am a Twihard. But everyone is right, the original vampires are so much better than Twilight's vampires. I much prefer the vampires like Dracula and Lestat.

  • The King novel scared the crap out of me as a kid. At night I waited for the scratching on the window - and the soft evil voice whispering. "Let me in - "

  • I love this movie so much *__* one of my favorites x3

  • OMG!! You have no idea.. Course, I think i was only 9 when it came out.. I had nightmares for years.. It still creeps me out, but not to the same intensity.

  • i don think Stephenie Meyer intened to screw up vampire lore. she had an idea and wrote a book. simple as that. I do agree though that the vampire lore ill probably be gone because of Twilight though. I tried to find another good vampire novel and all I can really find now is all that "Im a vampire, your a mortal, we cant be together but i love you" bullshit and it sucks. But I dont think that Stephenie is to blame, i think the authors & filmmakers tht copy twilight are

  • i saw the remake when i was little. it scared the shit outta me.

  • A lot of talent wasted in this movie and a lot of great idea. But the directing is so bad.

  • im reading the book right now and whenever a friend asks to read a part of it with barlow and the then say wtf thats not a reak vampire. Stephinie myre has fucked with vampires way to much

  • How does Stephen King feel now his great novel has been embarassed twice!

  • Why does everyone get so bent out of shape over the Twilight films, they are cheesy kid flicks that are obvioulsy not to be taken serious

  • @LukeBailey182

    I totally agree. I was 5 when the original Salem's Lot came out, and was in my late teens when I finally read the book and Vampires were the only things that ever scared the shit out of me. Stephanie Meyer and others like her have totally ruined that. (Kind of glad from what people are saying that i haven't seen the remake)

  • Not as good as the original with David Soul.

  • @rohansrider

    I agree..no where near as good as the David Soul version.

    The most disapointing thing about the new version was the master vampire.

    The '79 original has all great characters in it.

  • @raymondlang Why didn't you like Rutger Hauer?

  • @ptl1143

    Nothing wrong with Rutger Hauer, it's just that he doesn't have the explosive vile vampire look or the shock as the David Soul version.

    I'm going to have to read the book again to see what that character was really like.

    Salems Lot is still the King novel.

  • Anything beats that Twilight bull shit! But this remake was a freaking joke!! I wasn't scared a bit.. And the new Barlow looked like a freaking strung out supermodel.. Geez!

  • @NinerPoolGirl The original actually scared you?

  • This is a very underrated remake, in my opinion. It can't touch the classic original, of course, but it's still a pretty creepy adaptation of King's novel and shows us the classic bloodsucking variety of vampires as the vicious, evil creatures of the dark that they are.

  • @TheAltair4

    Not a remake but a re-adaptation like PJ's Lord of the Rings movies which are more faithful to Tolkein's novels than Bakshi's. Not all vampires suck blood you know, there are some that suck energy or youth or souls instead like the Asian vampires do.

  • @TheAltair4

    But do you love unconventional vampires of film? vampires that break the mould and show they aren't the same stereotype. I'm talking about ones that don't burn in the sunlight, vampires without fangs but sharp as blades teeth instead, space vampires, energy sucking vampires, essence sucking vampires, psychos who believe they are vampires, animal-like creatures that spawned vampire legends etc.? but no sparkling allowed right?

  • @Johnlindsey289 I don't believe that Martin was a psycho though. I think that he really was a vampire after all as it's much more fun to me that way. But i do like untraditional types of vampires like the ones in Captain Kronos, The Hunger, Near Dark, Lifeforce, Sleepwalkers etc.

  • if people don't like twilight, don't bring it up in every single vampire movie then! There is no "real" version of a vampire. Stephanie Meyers is smart enough to exploit the vampire theme to appeal to women that want to read about romance, however unrealistic it is. Without the bad books/movies, we won't be able to appreciat the good ones. so just relax, and let people watch and read whatever they want.

  • Twilight fucking sucks!!!!!! COCK!

  • @Shorty20122012

    Do you think Twilight is based on the shower-nozzle masturbation fantasies of a Mormon housewife?

  • I am a huge stephen king fan, I have read almost all of his books...but I wasnt impressed by salems lot. that and Insomnia are probably the only books I didnt like.

  • @NicolaeWaugh How could you not enjoy 'salems lot? Now, I do think the ending should be a bit different when he kills Barlow but the book itself is a masterpiece.

  • very very poor special effects in this one.... the original although different from the novel is better....how can anyone trusted to reshoot the scraping window scene fuck it up so badly.....how ?

  • I have one ask as am called song approximately end leuft and from whom is that

  • Stephen King is right in saying that Stephanie is a horrible writer. Look what she did to his precious, horrible vampires. Dang! You can find anything now that doesn't have to do with lovel-dovey vampires. There are so many shows and books that have success because of Twilight. It's seriously old.  Like Edward fricking Cullen.

  • Grooooooaaaaaaannnn Roooob Looooowwweee.

  • this film is so bad.i just watched it because i red the book,and thought it would be better then the first one because it was made in 2004.but this was the biggest shit i ever saw.unbelievable what they did to such a great story,and the "special effects" if you can call them like that, where just poor.only good films from a book of stephen king is green mile,stand by me and the one bout the guy escaping from jail....

  • When the hell is Hollywood going to make a decent adaptation of this story? They left out and twisted so many important plot points it's ridiculous.

  • twilight is for gay and pussys......yea you heard me....

  • To those saying Twilight has destroyed vampires because now they've been sexualized: read your history! Or crack open Stoker's novel "Dracula." Eroticism has been part of the vampire myth for a long time. Using vampires to tell really basic (and Christian based) horror stories about good and evil got boring, frankly, by the 90s.

    I HATE Twilight, but let's not fault it for an interesting part of vampire lore that "Buffy," "True Blood" and other recent stories explore: repressed sexual desire.

  • bring back the crucifix fearing, garlic-hating, coffin-sleeping dark lords of yore. vampires aren't sexy, metrosexual, homosexual or sci-fi mutants. they're evil (by that, i mean the old testament roman catholic version) and they devour humans. salems lot is one of the few great masterpieces of stephen king that adhered to this. all the rest are utter crap.

  • The vampire kid at the window isn't scary in this version.

  • I read the twilight books on a whim once then I read Salem's Lot and found it to be better beyond comparison. I agree with all the people saying a Salem's Lot type vampire to be the right kind of vampire! Like LukeBaily182 said, vampires are ruined thanks to twilight, there no longer creatures of the night for children to fear, there now things for girls to dream about and wish for, I mean what the fuck!

  • I agree. Twilight has destroyed the entire way we see vampires.

  • :D they filmed a part of this in the town i live in...they filmed the restaurant/cafe part and the explosion part :D here in Creswick, Australia

  • Za thedogkm nemoj ga skidati, gledaj online....ima vise linkova, snimci su ok, jedino nemaju prevode(ako bas zelis da skines, postoje i linkovi ispod)....ipak, knjiga je knjiga - tu je King neprevazidjen!!!

  • dje da skinem ovaj film,zna li iko?knjiga je vrh!!!

  • Nemoj skidati, gledaj online.....naravno Kingove knjige su ipak neprevazidjene, ima samo par dobrih ekranizacija njegovih knjiga - uglavnom su vrlo lose.........

  • What's happening to this town is a Hollywood invasion of Victoria:0

  • book ist most better

  • well i really enjoyed this movie :)

  • i love this story

  • I think that Stephenie whore may have fucked the vampire lore forever with that twilight shit, I dont dont think they'le ever be the evil and ugly beings they're suposed to be. People think it's clever to give them a concious mind and make them stupidly simalar to humans. Soon people will see or read salems lot, scrunch their face up and say "what is that? thats not a vampire!"

  • Well, i think there is nothing wrong with vampires beeing beautiful or similar to humans. Thats because i think vampires should reflect the dark side of the human desires. For example, in my opinion it is possible for a vampire to "love", but it would be the dark counterpart of true love, possesive, ruthless, egoistic, destructive and so on.

    Aside from this: 1) This movie is really good and 2) There are still enough Vampire Fans who prefere them to be evil. :)

  • we all have a definition of what vampires should really be about and are entitled to them i guess, but for me I think they are all about the suffering of others wether it be emotionally or physically, they enjoy and manifest on peoples fears and weakness's and exploit that, anything else im not sure about but is debatable

  • YEAH Twillight SUCKS!!!!

  • i agree, twilight is ridiculous. i mean, i'm not opposed to vamps being more human looking, but i am opposed to them not being dangerous, or bloodthirsty, and only concerned with falling in love with teenagers. I just finished this book, and it was AMAZING.

  • yeah, not to mention....their cheeks sparkle in the sunlight. AS IF THE MOVIES WERENT GAY ENOUGH, their cheeks sparkle in the sunlight! What the hell? Vampires are vicious animilistic, sociopathic creatures (my favorite type, anyway [30 days of night, SALEMS LOT, etc]), not dawson's creek with pointy canines!

  • yes, thank you!!!!!! they are BAD, evil, yes, sociopaths!!!! that's what i love. i don't want sensitive. i don't want googly eyes, i don't want guilt.

    see: angelus, from buffy/angel. badassery to the nth degree.

  • @LukeBailey182 oh god thats terrible, but sadly true. Alas, for the death of the vampires...

  • @LukeBailey182 hey! dude! no need t be disrespectful! geez

  • @JasmineEsMi

    It's the internet. 

  • @kindreddarkness

    Mah thikkkkk juicy cawk ... juicy cawk .... juicy HOT ..... Mah hot Juicy cawk!!!

  • @LukeBailey182 i dont know vampires i a good metaphor for that darker side to human nature, vampires are pretty much humans crossing the line between the perseption of good and evil, but twilidht is utterly shit, best vampire movie iv seen recently is "let the right one in" its a Swedish romantic horror film directed by Tomas Alfredson that is amillion times beter than twilight, its bee remade in usa unfortunatly and rename as Let me in check ot the swedish on first, its awesome!

  • @LukeBailey182 i agree with you 100% i use to love vampire movies because the vampire where creepy and scary but now everyone makes vampire human like and there is nothing scary nor creepy about them! vampire movies are ment to creep you out they are not ment to be like ohh so cute i want one!!

  • @LukeBailey182 Actually I think it started with Anne Rice's novels. While one could argue that the "Dracula"-type vampire story has become cliche, I've never been able to buy into the whole idea of vampires as lead characters like that. And I especially don't like having vampires who can walk around in daylight. They're supposed to be creatures of the night. But that's just my humble opinion.

  • @LukeBailey182 soon people will forget how to read...

  • @LukeBailey182 i dont know how old you are but ime 20 and i just finished reading salems lot ....... i loved it.

    truly a masterpiece.

    So even though they are going to be a few that will read it and like twilight and like that bullshit more they will always be those who appreciate an amazing piece of literature.

  • @LukeBailey182 my favourite book is salem´s lot, but to call stephenie a slut it won´t make her series disappear. people will keep lovin her books.

  • I really want to find this version! The book is amazing, and this looks like a fairly good representation of the book. I want to see the attempt. The 1979 version was ridiculous, Ben looked NOTHING like how he's described in the book, and the effects look terrible. Maybe they were good then, but it definately needed an update. If anyone knows where I can find this version, please message my youtube account.

  • i've seen the 1979 version and read the book but haven't been able to find this one.dose anyone have it to upload ontoo youtube???????? i really want to see it especially because it has rod lowe and that guy who played norton in the mist i forget his name.

  • I'll admit that the remake has much better graphics, HOWEVER, as far as the look for vampires goes, I do like the 79 version of Mr. Barlow because I feel that vampires were meant to be scary and not like the teenage trash called Twilight.

  • The book is much better

  • BOOK IS THE BEST

  • Freaky.

  • This vampire movie remake is better than the 1979 one, and FAR, FAR better than the Twilight sissie vampires. Hauer's portrayal owns the Twilight boy's any time and is quite better than Reggie Nalder's... the 1979 Barlow was so ugly it sort of didn't scare me anymore... too hideous to scare me. However I realize this is just my viewpoint and I won't complain about other opinions, i.e. that Nalder was the best Barlow or something.

  • i LOVE this! and the book is absolutely amazing

  • hmmmm.....nice - the 1979 version was getting really dated....and a nice crop if good older actors - i think ill have a look at it - thanx for the trailer

  • Filmed in Mernda, Creswick, Melbourne and Woodend, in Melbourne!

  • You mean Twilight shit, crap makes it seem like yeah it sucks but not horrible, shit seems like just buy the DVD to just spit on it and throw it away, lol

  • man, I love this version of the film, but I cant seem to find it anywhere... dose anyone know where I can watch it online or download it free?

  • Ever heard of buying it mate?

    Its only five quid on the internet....I'm sure even cheaper on E-Bay...

  • Not to everyones taste since it looks so grim-but I consider it to be a suitably atmospheric rendition- surprisingly filmed in Australia!

  • I kind of fell in love with Rob Lowe when I saw this. He owns the movie, simply amazing! And his blue eyes are enchanting.

    I love Salem's Lot allthough in the beginning(except for the openingscene that was great) it looked like some really crappy TV-show.

  • Do you have the full movie? if so could you load it?

  • hmm i think it looks good :D

    im almost done with book and cant wait to se it

  • People should read the book instead.

    It is way better then both movies.

    :3

  • Agreed, but still both movies are great, better than that Twithligh Crap

  • Lol...

    Fuck face?

    You should listen to yourself... wasting breath to tell me that. Asshole. Lol.

  • I have seen the 1979 version.. im downloading the 2004 version, and i know the book... Great history !!

  • Hahaha que divertida la pelea de esos dos que se postean uno al otro.... Esta película es LA LEY

  • This movie is amazing.

    My friends and I watch the old version when we need a really good laugh. It's hilarious.

  • Have you guys asking where is Mr. Barlow, seen the movie?! Go see the movie first, and then talk. You can find it in every blockbuster. Bah!!!

  • rutger hauer is mr barlow

  • Err that was a movie wasn't it? because I got the dvd and it was about two hours long and a movie.

  • were is straker and that was mark? na i keep the book and the first movie

  • gay show , were is mr barlow??

  • Rutger Hauer plays barlow

  • no i mean the REAL barlow. the actual scary one.

  • the old one's not scary, he's just ugly

  • dude, admit it, the barlow in the origional fuckin rocked. ruteger's, not so cool.... at all.this show got an epic fail, while 1970's one was a classic.

  • yeah, but think about it. the old one's maybe scarier but the new one also gives me the creeps.

    and the old barlow is just annoying cause he's so freakin ugly

  • how could he be annoying because hes ugly???

    just stop trying to make arguments out of nothing.

  • what, that's what I think, so i'm not making arguments out of nothing because it's true hah!

  • okay no commin sense needed in this obvius argument! its a moron free for all! but im not the moron you are because its what i think! thus it has to be true!! get a life.

  • if you're not a moron because you think what you say is true, I'm not a moron either because I think what I say is true. oh and by the way, go get a life yourself, it's actuallt your fault that we're arguing right now. if you don't want people to say what's true, you shouldn't have written that comment in the first place!

  • I love Hauer's films, but this movie sucked.

    I laughed all the way through.

  • no it didn't suck at all. you stupid son of a bitch!

  • relax, man!

    castletriglav, at least admit that rob lowe kicked ass in this. the man's a god.

  • Any chance that someone could post this rare series on here?
