I was rooting for “Salem’s Lot.” Not only am I a huge Stephen King fan who considers the 1975 original among the master of horror’s best works, but I resent how much Max/WB keeps burying their projects like “Batgirl” and “Coyote vs. Acme.” This one threatened to meet a similar fate, once scheduled for theatrical release in Fall 2022 before being pulled from the slate in another wave of Covid-related delays.
