Stephen King sings the praises of a new horror movie that premiered at Fantastic Fest, calling it one of his favorite movies of the year so far.

Stephen King has shared his enthusiasm about the upcoming Salem's Lot adaptation in the best way possible. "My and my friend the Count await the premiere of the latest 'SALEM'S LOT, October 3, HBO Max ," he wrote on Twitter, along with a photo of him with a framed poster of the movie, holding a Dracula figure – perfect for a vampire movie.

Stephen King scored early access to a horror thriller slated to hit streaming next year and he’s got nothing but praise for the film.

Long before "True Blood" or "Twilight" brought vampires to small-town America, horror writer Stephen King imagined the creatures invading his backyard in rural Maine (technically, a fictional place called Jerusalem's Lot).

Adapting a famous Stephen King novel, especially one that already spawned a cult mini-series directed by none other than Tobe Hooper himself, has got to be a pretty big uphill struggle. There are few people who probably understand this better than screenwriter Gary Dauberman,
