Warner Bros. has a Stephen King horror adaptation on the shelf – Publinews – 2024-02-25 16:53:57

The wait continues for Stephen King fans and horror movie lovers, as the production company Warner Bros. has kept the release of the film adaptation of “Salem’s Lot” on hold.

Stephen King himself expressed his bewilderment through Twitter:

‘’Between you and me, Twitter, I’ve seen the new SALEM’S LOT and it’s pretty good. Old school horror cinema: slow build, big payoff. I don’t know why WB is keeping her; It’s not that it’s embarrassing or anything. Who knows. I just write the damn things.”
