In 1979, director Tobe Hooper created a two-part mini-series adaptation of Stephen King's Salem's Lot, which aired on CBS and left viewers deeply unsettled with its vampire scenes. Decades later, Hooper's version continues to captivate horror fans, surpassing other adaptations of the novel. Arrow Video has announced a 4K UHD release of Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot on March 30th in the UK and the 31st in the US and Canada.
