Star Says New ‘Salem’s Lot’ Movie Is A True Adaptation Of King’s Story

Writer-director Gary Dauberman‘s new adaptation of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot is currently in production. Star Lewis Pullman (Top Gun: Maverick, Strangers: Prey At Night) has now said that this adaptation is much closer to the book than the mini-series that debuted back in 1979. “Gary Dauberman, the director, is really keen on doing justice to the book. But also, the previous adaptation was a two-parter, because it’s such a hefty book and there are so many different moving parts and so many characters.” Pullman told ComicBook.com. “So there are some parts where Gary had to press and find what was really at the heart of the movie to keep in, but for the most part, he’s really true to the book and keeping a lot of the original dialogue in there. He’s a Stephen King hound dog so he doesn’t wanna do Stephen dirty. So I think it’s in good hands, Gary’s a really smart guy who has a keen

Blu-ray Review: Blood of the Chupacabras (2003)/Revenge of the Chupacabras (2005)

Plucky newspaperwoman Sandra (Elaine Benoit) works in an office of complete assholes who continuously ride her ass about the weak-as-fuck assignments the News Editor… a.k.a. her husband… doles out to her. Also the office scene is scored with the fartiest of electronic horn music your ass has ever heard… trust me, it’s a highlight… and it inexplicably shows up in the finale as well… One night Sandra gets a lucky break when her hubs assigns her to investigate a report of a local cryptid sighting of the famed goat-sucking Chupacabra which then turns to a homicide investigation across town… probably unrelated. As the attacks continue, Sandra seeks the advice of local Romany mystic The Mago (Lenore Sebastian), who you’d think would be more an expert in werewolves or vampires rather than Puerto Rican/Mexican cryptids, but she’s an infodump waiting to happen… she also recommends finding the local vampire hunter, one Granpa Charles Parker (Loren Taylor) by name, which is definitely

Movie Review: “Satanic Hispanics” (Fantastic Fest)

Boasting, as the film’s poster says, “5 stories from 5 Latino AF directors,” Satanic Hispanics is a fine entry in the horror anthologies subgenre. The film balances the spooky and the humorous quite well, resulting in a highly satisfying effort. The wraparound story, directed by Mike Mendez, concerns the questioning of a man who calls himself The Traveler (Efren Ramirez) — the sole survivor of a massacre that saw the lives of 27 other people taken — by Detectives Gibbons (Sonya Eddy) and Arden (Greg Grunberg). In the vein of classic Amicus and Hammer horror anthologies, he regales the detectives, sometimes to their dismay and often to their shock, with a series of tales. First up is “Tambien Lo Vi,” written and directed by Demian Rugna, which concerns Rubik’s Cube tournament competitor Gustavo (Demián Salomón), who believes he has discovered a method to reveal the afterlife. He talks a podcaster into checking out his technique, which leads to grim consequences

How to Write a Horror Story That Terrifies Your Readers
