SALEM'S LOT (1979) alternate gun scene

Two versions of this scene were filmed for the TV miniseries Salem's Lot. In one version, George Dzundra tells Fred Willard to put the gun in front of his face. In this version, Willard is told to put the gun in his mouth. This was seen as too intense for television (where the former version was shown), but was included in the two-hour version released in cinemas outside the US.

In the recent DVD release, all the extra scenes from the theatrical version were included, except this one. (There's also some different music in that version.) Here it is, ripped from the original VHS.

The remake was really bad. They need to leave these movies alone.

Barlow was like that old Vampire Movie NOSFERATU, not like a zombie. Look it up and you will see he looks like him .

I liked the scene in the book in which after being humiliated by Sawyer, the guy returned as a vampire, threw Sawyer against the wall, and proceeded to make love and turn his wife while Sawyer sat crouched and screaming.

Cully Sawyer is a fucking badass.

I just watched this movie and even the 3 hour version seemed to fly by.

I'd hate to see the 2 hour one because even the 3 hour version wasn't long enough. They could have added a lot more stuff to the story.

@bhindthosegreeneyes I recommend it. In fact it's my favorite book of any genre.
