The VAMPIRES Are After Me!!

This could fit in a bunch of different categories but I decided on movies. It could have also gone in the TV interest or reading or Stephen King since it's a movie made for TV based on a Stephen King novel! Anyway, now that I've got that out of the way... Last night I watched Salem's Lot, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. I read the book years ago so while i remembered some things much of it was new to me. For those of you not familiar with either the novel or the TNT movie, it was about a small town that was taken over by vampires. That's a very brief summary of the plot but that's it in a nutshell. It also centers around a seemingly evil house where the main character had, as a child, witnessed a suicide and what he'd always thought had been the murder of a child that he believed he could have prevented but had been too "cowardly" to do so. I have to say that while a lot of movies based on novels end up being disappointing and especially those made for TV, I thought this one was very well-done. It sure kept me at the edge of my seat and made me and my two cats a bit jumpy from time to time. So, since this is a discussion and not a review, have any of you seen this movie? If so, what did you think? How do you think it compares to the book? Also, do you believe in vampires? Annie
