Having read the book Salem's Lot, I was surprised at how close the made-for-tv movie stayed to the book. I was actually surprised that it was actually pretty good. Th acting and storyline were and are pretty good as well. It is filled with a bunch of well known character and t.v. actors who do quite capable jobs in their roles. Too many critics of the movie fail to realize this was made-for-tv in the 1970's when things that could be on tv were a lot different than nowadays. It still is pretty good. Take it for what it is, a very well done tv adaptation of a very good book. Salem's Lot is still pretty good even after all of these years.
