Salem’s Lot Determines the Maximum Release Date for the Stephen King Vampire Movie

Salem’s Lot has a maximum release date selected.

The updated version of Stephen King’s iconic horror novel from 1975 is called Salem’s Lot. Ben Foster, Alfre Woodard, Bill Camp, and Lewis Pullman are among the actors and actresses in Gary Dauberman’s film.

When is the Salem’s Lot Max release date?

Salem’s Lot will debut on Max on Thursday, October 3, 2024, according to Fangoria.

“Author Ben Mears returns to his childhood home of Jerusalem’s Lot in search of inspiration for his next book only to discover his hometown is being preyed upon by a bloodthirsty vampire,” the synopsis for the movie reads.

In the movie, Pullman plays Ben Mears, Woodard plays Dr. Cody, and Camp plays Matthew Burke. Makenzie Leigh, William Sadler, Pilou Asbaek, and John Benjamin Hickey are among the other actors in the cast.

“Salem’s Lot is such a special book because there are a lot of macro sociopolitical themes in there. It’s not just a horror book,” Pullman recently told Entertainment Weekly about the film. “How Gary approached it was almost like, this is not a horror movie. This is a movie about a small town in America where something horrific happens. He was trying to also rekindle the fire of mystique about vampires. They’ve shifted in many different ways over the last couple of decades in terms of pop culture. I think Gary really wanted to return back to this very mysterious, almost mythological lens on them.”

Dauberman is well-known for helming Annabelle Comes Home in 2019. In addition, he wrote the scripts for films including It (2017), Annabelle: Creation (2017), The Nun (2018), It Chapter Two (2019), and more.

The film is produced by James Wan, Michael Clear, Roy Lee, and Mark Wolper; executive producers Dauberman, Michael Bederman, Judson Scott, and Andrew Childs are involved.
