Author Ben Mears returns to the town of Salem’s Lot after 25 years to write about the Marsten House, an old mansion with a bad reputation that has haunted the writer since childhood. But the sleepy town of Ben’s youth is beginning to change.
There’s an antiques store about to open, run by the mysterious Richard Straker and his unseen partner Mr. Barlow, and they’re living in the Marsten House. A series of deaths and disappearances leads Ben to believe that a vampire is feeding on the town. But how can he stop them, and will anyone believe him?
Master of horror Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist) directs from a script by Carrie producer Paul Monash.
