I'm curious about those that don't like Salem's Lot. When did you first see it? I saw it first when it was originally on TV and loved it. It was a TV mini-series in the '70s so it hasn't aged well but I thought it stayed fairly true to the book and was done fairly well for its time.
I first saw it in the late 80's or early 90's so maybe that was a part of the problem. The character development in the book is so deep that I just felt some of that was missing from the show, especially Straker. I never did end up seeing the Rob Lowe remake on TV. I think at that time after IT and the 70's Salem's Lot, I had just kind of given up on King made for TV things. I gave Under the Dome a try a couple of years ago(Meh)and The Mist this year(a little less meh)so my giving up was warranted but I do want to find the Lowe edition since we've been posting on Salem's Lot the last few days.
