Gary Dauberman Sinks His Teeth Into The New ‘Salem’s Lot’ Adaptation

Almost exactly a year ago we reported that James Wan would be producing a new take on Stephen King’s vampire novel Salem’s Lot. We informed you back then that Gary Dauberman (IT, Annabelle Comes Home) would be penning the script. Now, news has come (via THR) that Dauberman will also be in the director’s chair. Published in 1975, Salem’s Lot centers on a writer who returns to his childhood home, the town of Jerusalem’s Lot where he discovers there’s a vampire plaguing the town. Dauberman had this to say last year: I did have a unique way into it but again, I think the book in itself is unique,” Dauberman told Slash Films. “I haven’t seen a scary vampire movie in a long, long time and I’d really love to tackle that.
