I just watched Salem’s Lot (1979) and all I can say is that it was too goddamn long. Three hours of my life, gone. But hey, just because it did not meet my 1 hour 20 minutes desired length it doesn’t mean I hated it. Granted, it was slow as hell and not scary at all but it was visually pleasing. If what you need is to satiate your hunger for 70’s nostalgia, this is your film. But like I said, it was three hours long.

I have to mention that the director of the film, Tobe Hooper, passed away one day ago at the age of 74. May he rest in peace. (Sir, if you are listening to me, please forgive my irreverence, it was nothing personal, but come on, three hours?)

Okay, enough screwing around and let’s cut to the best part of the movie – the vampires!

I hereby give you my favorite screenshots of the vampires:

Three hours!?
