[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 58805, member: 57984"] The original SALEM'S LOT (1979) with David Soul, James Mason, Geoffrey Lewis, and footstamp-stealing-cutie Lance Kerwin, based on a Steven King novel. As I had recalled from when I first saw it, it's [B]waaay[/B] above average for most made-for-TV movies at the time. It has a nice, mature, leisurely atmosphere, focusing on mood, good acting, and a sense of location, instead of brain dead pseudo-scares (at least, the full length 183 minute version does -- a chopped-up version was released to theatres later). And it's so nice that Mr Soul lost that beer-&-mashed-potatoes gut from Season 4 of STARSKY & HUTCH.
