48. Salem's Lot (Hooper, 1979) New England Nosferatu

Cultists, continuing with the Sinners theme. Another one of the
film’s often cited influences was Stephen King’s Salem's Lot.
Adapted as a two part TV movie by Texas Chainsaw Massacre
director Tobe Hooper, this Gothic Horror throwback scarred the
Gen X kids that grew up with it on television, and gave us one of
the ‘70s most iconic vampires the Nosferatu-esque Kurt Barlow.
