Okay, finally got around to watching the new adaption of Salem's Lot and, ya know? I gotta say, that was actually really good. For the most part, it's on par with the book, though there are a few deviations. Overall though, it's like King was there the whole time. I also particularly liked that they took the time to really set things up before jumping out the proverbial plane. Taking that time really helped to not only introduce you to the main characters, but also build some relationships so when things go south, the things that happen mean way more to you as the viewer.
