136. Salem's Lot (2004) with Simon Brown
The homecoming from hell continues. Season XIV enters its final stretch as we make our (final?) visit to the cursed town of Salem’s Lot. This week, we’re sinking our teeth into the 2004 TNT miniseries. Rob Lowe stars as author Ben Mears, who returns to his childhood home only to find that an ancient evil is already there.... Joining Dan Owen and Hugh McStay to navigate the shadows is a special guest: Dr Simon Brown, an Associate Professor of Film and TV and a self-described Stephen King super-fan. Together, they discuss how this mid-2000s reimagining holds up against King’s legendary source material.
