This moment from 1979’s two-part TV movie Salem's Lot remains one of the most unnerving to ever hit the airwaves. But then the scratching-oh, God, the scratching-on the glass makes it unbearable. James Wan, Roy Lee and Mark Wolper are producing the film with Gary Dauberman also executive producing.A young boy with an unnaturally pallid face hovers in the mist outside his big brother’s window. Of course, we won’t know for sure until the movie finally hits theaters. And considering how the IT films came about, it’s safe to say that this new adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘Salem’s Lot will be one horror fans will fully enjoy. So it’ll be exciting to see how well Dauberman’s style will overall impact the movie and whether or not we’ll be getting an entirely new version of Kurt Barlow to stand alongside the horror genre’s biggest icons. As revealed by THR, not only is Dauberman directing the new film, but he also wrote the screenplay. If that wasn’t enough, he’s also written a variety of films connected to The Conjuring including Annabelle, Annabelle: Creation, and Annabelle Comes Home.Ĭlearly Gary Dauberman has an eye for horror and seeing his name attached to ‘Salem’s Lot should be incredibly exciting for Stephen King fans. He was the writer for the massively popular and successful horror film adaptations based on Stephen King’s IT – both IT: Chapter One and IT: Chapter Two. If you’re a Stephen King fan, then Gary Dauberman’s name is actually quite familiar. Now ‘Salem’s Lot is being prepped for yet another adaptation – this time as a theatrical film being directed by Annabelle Comes Home director Gary Dauberman. The novel was successful enough to receive two miniseries adaptations, the first of which was directed by Tobe Hooper in 1979 and helped maintain Kurt Barlow’s memorable status as one of the vampire genre’s scariest creatures.
Perhaps one of his most iconic is ‘Salem’s Lot, a modern day vampire story published in 1975 which introduced the horrifying Kurt Barlow. Horror author Stephen King helped create some of the most iconic genre villains and stories throughout his writing career.
