Romero left with the feeling that it would not be able to make the film in the way I wanted, with restrictions television.

This was the first television mini-series (and the second film), based on the writings of author Stephen King.

The title of the novel "Salem's Lot includes an apostrophe before the word Salem, because the title is supposed to be short for" Jerusalem Lot ", the real name of the city where is located the story. To avoid confusion of the mini-series adaptation, although the city is mainly known as "Salem's Lot" and the apostrophe was dropped from the title of the film.

The actor James Mason starred with his wife Clarissa Kaye-Mason the movie.
