About Salem's Lot
Stephen King's 1975 novel about vampires taking over Jerusalem's Lot, Maine, has reached the screen three times, plus one loose sequel and one prequel series. Each version tells the same Ben Mears story with a new cast, so release order is the whole guide.
Good to know
A Return to Salem's Lot (1987) is a loose sequel with none of the original characters, despite its poster borrowing Barlow's image. Chapelwaite (2021) adapts the Jerusalem's Lot prequel short story and stands apart from the three direct adaptations.
