[edit] Questionable adaptation accuracy

In what way was Salem's Lot "largely faithful to the book"? Very few aspects of the novel were accurately incorporated in the screen adaptation, with many of the main characters and details being completely changed. Even the title itself was inaccurate: Stephen King's 1975 novel, the source of the TV adaptation, was entitled "'Salem's Lot", due to "'Salem" being an abbreviation of "Jerusalem".

[edit] Merge

There are two versions of this page: A (film) version and a (TV mini-series) version. One needs to be merged into the other, and I believe the (film) version needs to come here.  BIGNOLE   (Question?)  (What I do)  20:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Performed the merger.  BIGNOLE   (Question?)  (What I do)  13:15, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up

I would like to move to have this cleaned up, the plot summary is almost a wall of text. CharlieP216 22:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
