There are writers out there who are able to write all types of emotions and feelings into their work that make a story what it is. One person who manages to scare the hell out of us with his storytelling is none other that the Master of Fear himself, Stephen King. I couldn’t think of a better Toddster team up for this coming Halloween. My Ghostbusting crew and I have found some movies based on King’s work and wanted to share some of our feelings and scary memories with you. Read on if you dare.

Salem’s Lot (1979)

My fascination with vampires began long before the modern soap opera, glitzy, Twilight nonsense we’re forced to endure these days. Instead, I learned about the blood-sucking creatures of the night at a young age from the master of horror himself, Stephen King.

Salem’s Lot, based on King’s novel of the same name, originally appeared on television in 1979, telling the story of author Ben Mears as he returns to his hometown to research a book on the reputably haunted Marsten house.

Now owned by the mysterious Richard Straker (and his supposed business partner Kurt Barlow), the Marsten house has an evil reputation with the local populace, and shortly after the strange delivery of a large crate at the residence, vampires begin making appearances as they slowly consume the town.
