| A divorced dad and son attempt to build on their newly resurrected relationship by heading back to pop's hometown in up-state Maine. When he gets there, he finds that all the townspeople have turned into 300-year-old vampires. Some say that director Larry Cohen intended the vampire community to be a parody of old-blooded Republicans who so often rule in small-town America.
Although not an original Stephen King story, but based on characters created by Stephen King, this old school vampire movie is Larry Cohen's sequel to Tobe Hooper's "Salem's Lot", and it's a very good horror movie in it's own right. The special effects and make-up art are pretty neat, and NOT done with computers.
