Salem's Lot is a 1979 American Television Mini-Series Adaptation of the Novel of the same name by Stephen King. Directed by Tobe Hooper and Starring David Soul and James Mason, the plot revolves around a writer returning to his home and discovers the citizens are turning into vampires. It combines elements of Both the Vampire film and haunted House Subgenres.

For the roles of Richard K. Straker and the Vampire Kurt Barlow, James Mason and Reggie Nalder had been on producer Richard Korbitz' wish list, however, Nalder was less impressive - The Makeup and contact lenses were painful but he eventually got use to the make-up. Reggie Nalder was a prolific film and television character actor from the late 1940s to the early 1990s. His distinctive features-partially the result of disfiguring burns-together with a haunting style and demeanor led to his being called "The Face that launced a Thousand Trips". He died in 1991 of Bone Cancer in Santa Monica, California.
