Adrien Brody in Chapelwaite
When it comes to guys like Stephen King, film and TV adaptations are a dime a dozen. It might be hard to believe, but for every novel or short story that the king of horror has churned out, a ridiculous number of screen iterations have followed in their wake. This is for good reason, too. King basically prints money. There are the groundbreaking It films , several Carrie movies, a few Shining-related projects , and the endlessly resurrectable Pet Semetary franchise.
1 'Salem's Lot' is Back With a Long-Awaited Movie Adaptation If you're unfamiliar with Salem's Lot, now is a fantastic time to get acquainted. In short, this 1975 novel is King's modernized take on the classic vampire story. It follows Ben Mears, an author who returns for a short stay in his hometown of Salem's Lot in search of inspiration for his next book. Things turn sinister when Mears discovers that vampires are quickly taking over the town.
But what is Chapelwaite actually about? It's not Salem's Lot proper, so what exactly is this series? Well, first off, it takes place over 100 years before its better-known counterpart. The series follows Charles Boone , who moves home after the death of his wife and moves with his family to their small hometown in Maine. Unbeknownst to them, this is where vampires lurk. So yeah, it's Salem's Lot but with a 19th century gothic horror flare.
