Stephen King's "Salem's Lot" remake will premiere on Max streaming service in October. The film, directed by Gary Dauberman, follows writer Ben Mears who discovers his hometown is being preyed upon by a bloodthirsty vampire. Dauberman's take on the story has been inspired by late-night grindhouse thrillers, aiming for a mix of humor, extremism, and scares throughout the film. After multiple delays, the movie survived corporate mergers and restructuring at Warner Bros. Discovery and is set to debut during spooky season.
