'Salem's Lot is a two-part miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's classic vampire story 'Salem's Lot. The story set out to bring the 1975 novel into modern times. Characters now use cellphones and the internet. There are also a number of small inside jokes to other King works. (A dog is named Cujo, and "Stand by Me" is sung at a karaoke). Large portions of film were shot at Creswick and Woodend, in Central Victoria, Australia.
