Bong Joon Ho on “Salem’s Lot” (1979): “’Salem’s Lot’ (1979) the scariest vampire film I’ve ever seen. It was aired on TV during summer vacation when I was a middle-school student, and I just loved the bone-chilling horror I experienced while watching it alone in a dark room. I want to see a complete version—with the deleted scenes restored.” (‘Bong Joon Ho’s Guilty Pleasures’, Film comment, 2007) | History of Cinema
