One fan's concept art is already imagining what the upcoming Salem's Lot reboot will look like. Based on the 1975 Stephen King novel of the same name, the film follows Ben Mears, a writer who returns to his hometown of Jerusalem's Lot, only to gradually discover that residents are turning into vampires. Multiple television adaptations of King's book have been made over the years, though they have varied in their reception and interpretation of the source material. The most recent use of the fictional town came in 2018, when it was incorporated into the second season of Hulu's Castle Rock.

The development of a Salem's Lot movie began back in 2019 and, following its official announcement, it was revealed that Gary Dauberman would write and direct the project with acclaimed horror filmmaker James Wan stepping in to produce. Dauberman, who has worked with Wan in the past, writing and/or directing films such as The Nun and Annabelle Comes Home, has also previously adapted the screenplay for Stephen King's It in 2017. With production underway, Salem's Lot is set to be released on September 9, 2022, and will feature a cast that includes Lewis Pullman, Makenzie Leigh, Bill Camp, Spencer Treat Clark, Alfre Woodard, and William Sadler.
