I like how the people in this bar are comfortable working and living 5 miles away from a vampire town, and how the vampires never leave Jerusalem’s Lot.
The vampires couldn't leave the town, for some reason stated in the novel that I can't remember right now. They coud only go as far as the town's edges.
My grandson took a shortcut on his bike in the wilderness of Bavaria in the dark. He brilliantly described the fear and horror he felt. Finally, he quipped: Grandma, it was like riding into the middle of a Stephen King movie. 😂😂
Jerusalem's Lot was the first book from S.K. i ever read. I remember it like yesterday, it was in autumn 1980, i was 12 and a rainy storm whistled around our old house. I slept with my light on for many many weeks after reading it. And I never took a look to my window at night during the next winter. The moving shadows on my wall from the tree branches of a big oak that stood in front of our house were creepy enough.But what I really was afraid to see, was a pale smiling face with red eyes and long white teeth, who asks me to be let in. I'm 56 since a week, but this story scared me like hell in those days as a small boy and still does it today as an nearly retired man. It's written so fucking good... And sorry for my english, I'm German and only learned it at school, so there may be some mistakes in it.
Your writing is excellent. I bet learning English was a relief from when you first learned German-English words are about half as long as German words! lol.
Amazing!! Thank you for posting!! Stephen King is like the most popular author in the U.S. I will say his Salem's Lot movie has one of the scariest scenes of all time when the Glick kids are floating outside the window asking for entry. Never invite them in!! I don't even like to think about that scene and I'm almost 60! Best, from Colorado!
That was one part of the movie that I didnt like. Some kid who may have lost his sibling might think the sibling will come back from the dead. Kids at that age are very impressionable.
@CitizenofAucklandSilentAudits Zelda from Pet Semetary still scares the piss outta me. I worked with a lady a few years ago who looked just like her. She wasn't handicapped or anything, but she had a weird face and was skinny as hell
Salem's Lot was the first S. King book I read... 1975 maybe? I was 17, in the Navy, and that was the scariest book I ever read at the time. It started me down a lifetime of enjoying good horror and sci fi stories.
Not bad. This short novel by King still haunts me decades after reading it. It's truly one of the best short horror stories of all times imo. The slight characters changes aren't annoying but it lacks in pure dread and cold despair as in the story!
Portland here. If you've ever traveled the back roads in Oregon...especially through the rain forest...especially at night, you'd know, *anything* is possible. 😐
Washington's worse! Some of these small logging towns up here harbor some deep dark secrets... don't forget a lot of the serial killers come from up here too (the ones you know about at least). And there's monsters all right. People just call it Bigfoot but that's nothing but a deflection, a catharsis to deal with what's really going on. Personally I think it's the lack of sunshine and all this rain. And the forests they're mighty dark and deep here... hundreds of miles of logging roads. I walk them all the time.
Well, I had an interesting story to tell about horror and and other serial killers here in the PNW, other than vampires, but the _Karen_ of this channel decided to delete it for some reason.
Yeah. They’re even talking about the fire set by Ben Mears and Mark Petrie after they escaped when they mention the “watershed fire.” The vampires were all hiding in houses and large buildings, so they set fire to the town and most of them burned up. But, they obviously didn’t get them all.
The original Salem's Lot was scary as hell when I saw it as a little kid but the book, I read that in high school and I swear I was looking down hallways and checking the end of the lockers for a time after I read it. Nothing like his writing but King knows how to bring the fear.
I watched the movie when it came out I couldn't watch it again... I love movies and I'm the kind of person that can watch them over and over But Salems Lot freaked me out Had chills and was paronoid long as I can remember.. I agree Nit brave enough to read the book. Books are always better than the movie.
Terrible acting. And when is this supposed to take place? Our time or ten years after the events in Salems lot? Because she says ten years ago that people went missing. But they’re talking about Google, and not being able to smoke in bars as if it’s today. So are you moving the timeline up? Because she mentioned the bar starting up in 1971 which would’ve been around the appropriate time for the books, but then she says 10 years ago people started disappearing. If you still mean for this to take place in the same universe as the books, or if you mean it to be historical accurate according to the books, then the book Salems lot being 10 years before this would make it 1985, still way before Google and woke bar policies.
@@bwy553My thoughts exactly! Too many self-serving hacks too lazy to do decent research of the genre, who's monstrous egos are fueled by friends and family and gaggles of sycophants (usually the actors you see in the movie) at their so-called "premiere"!
I love these people. A stranger comes stumbling in and passes out on the floor and they don't lie him on a bench or call 911, but their first impulse is to sit him on a barstool.
This is one of MY FAVORITE short stories of Stephen King….. creeps me tf out every time I read it… this one, The Boogeyman and 1408 all had me sleeping with the lights on….. good adaptation !
True King style and love that he brings in the provenance of his past literary creations. Stephen King's world feels real. Love his stuff and his characterization is spot on
This is a good enough short horror film based from the short horror story "One for the Road"(1977) by Stephen King!"Salem's Lot" is the best and most scariest Vampire horror Novel of all time for sure!
Brilliant short film, simple and effective acting and script. Stephen King's stories don't always translate well on screen, but this one goes a long way.
They say reading your first Stephen King book is kinda special..My sister read the Shining first. I remember her terror. Mine was Salem's Lot. It scared me like nothing I've read before it. As I read, someone walked into the room and the book literally Flew out of my hands. lol. This short movie was terrific. It really caught something of the original story. It brought back some of the same horror I felt so many years ago. Nice work!
Silver Bullet was me and my family’s favorite scary movie growing up. I didn’t know until a few years ago that it was by Steven King. The part when Marty is lighting fireworks scares the hell out of me.
Hello Sunshine. I would like to say that this is a wonderful adaptation of Stephen Kings short story sequel to Salem's Lot. I love the acting and the drama in this short film. It is so brilliant. Please keep this video on UA-cam Sunshine. This is a real treasure and God Bless you for sharing it
I loved this. Thank you. Your film made me want to re read Salem’s Lot. My mom gave me this book when I was a kid. She said . Don’t tell your dad! So long story short my son is a 3rd generation Stephen King fan.
This is the best adaptation of One for the Road I've seen so far. Salem's Lot is my favourite ever novel and I'm really looking forward to the new movie (if it's ever released). Only nitpick was changing the setting to Oregon, and the lack of blizzard (but that's understandable) Great short film.

I honestly do not know why some of these adaptations of One For The Road change the gender of Lumley's child from a girl to a boy. The little girl vampire from the short story is much more terrifying, and besides, we already did the little boy vampire thing with Danny Glick.
I agree and the fact it was snowing not raining and the little girl was walking on top of the snow and not creating any footprints. This story wasn't bad though. It would have been expensive probably to do that so I do not want to criticize too much. Thanks for making it.
@@hotlittlezombiekiller2729 this is an adjacent story to salems lot. It is in the book “Night Shift” if I remember correctly. The prequel is called Jerusalem’s Lot.
Nice work! This has always been my favorite short story by Stephen King. It's too bad you couldn't do the snowstorm, since it adds so much to the direness of the situation and makes it difficult for the characters to see what's going on. But I totally understand. That would have been impossible to shoot. But you all did fantastic! I really liked the lead. Good choice!
This was fun. The only thing that isn’t consistent with “Salem’s Lot” (other than the location change, which I don’t understand…) is how quickly a person becomes a vampire. SL says it takes a few days, but this has people changing almost immediately (or so it seemed to me). It’s been so long since I read “One For The Road” that I can’t remember if that is what happened in that short story. Whatever the case, I enjoyed this. 🙂👍

@@TheGodParticle my little brother and I were in the living room watching it with the lights off. That scene came on, and it scared the living hell out of us! We were both so scared when we had to go to the bathroom we went with each other and my older brother was hiding in the hallway and the dark. When we came around the corner, he jumped out at us, and we both about peed our self!
I just found this channel and that was fantastic!! I love horror, mystery, suspense and thrillers!! I'm going to look at your channel and see if I want to subscribe!
My brother told me this story. Back in the late 60s, there was a bar/restaurant about a half a mile from where my mother lived, in Santa Rosa, a rural area. The bar was open at midnight and at that time, no one was in the bar but a lady bartender. A stranger walked in and sat at the bar. The bartender asked the stranger what he wanted to drink. He told her and she poured the drink, but when she looked at his eyes, he had eyes like a snake. She did not want to show she was terrified and told him she would be back after she checked the fridge in the back. She went back there and locked herself in the fridge/storage area. She finally fell asleep, still afraid to come back to the front of the bar. The next day, the owner walked in and he unlocked the storage area and found her. She had fallen asleep but told him of the weird, devil-like stranger.
I just LOVE these kind of mystery shorts. Yesterday I started the movie Avatar part 2, but after 15 minutes it just dawned on me that 3 hours and 15 minutes was just too long. My subscription to Disney was almost over and it felt some kind of 'obligation' to watch this movie that was on my watchlist, although it's not quite my genre. I stopped watching, went to diner and afterwards watched shortfilms. Being a filmmaker myself who loves the thriller/mystery/horror genres, these kind of short films make me more happy and they are a lot more inspiring than a long movie like Avatar. I wonder if there are people here who recognise this. Of course I do watch longer movies and in special cases series. The Haunting of Hill House is somewhere at the top of my list. I would love to see more of that kind of stuff. I also really appreciate psychological thrillers like Shutter Island. Thank you for sharing this Stephen King short.
Not a bad version of one of my favourite Stephen King short stories. "Somewhere out there there's a little girl still waiting for her goodnight kiss..."
I read all of Stephen King's vampire books and they are second to none. For some reason us humans have a morbid fascination with vampires and they are a very entertaining bunch.
Hii Sunshine, I Love These Videos n The Stories They Tell. I Especially Adore Your Haunted Videos, Greatest Stories Ever Told. Keep Up The Incredible Work You're A Legend!!
I love the movie Salem's Lot with David Soul this is a good follow-up too bad it wasn't longer people have the tendency to believe that something is so outrageous it can't be true stranger things are unknown in this world😮
It’s a fine enough adaptation, but the snowstorm is as much of a character in the story as anything else. Not only does it make the situation more desperate, the location more desolate, but the fact that the vampires walk above the snow is as iconic as the impact tremors from Jurassic Park.
I like how the people in this bar are comfortable working and living 5 miles away from a vampire town, and how the vampires never leave Jerusalem’s Lot.
I think they did. Bible in the Truck, they wore crosses. The homes were no doubt warded and protected.No one out at night. The vampires hunted deer .
I could state: What for? Dolts and morons know it all better, so a steady supply of blood rolls into Jerusalem's Lot!
They said it was ten miles away, so it's really not so bad.
The vampires couldn't leave the town, for some reason stated in the novel that I can't remember right now. They coud only go as far as the town's edges.

Yes. This AND the novel Salem's Lot.
This is my favorite story from Night Shift, hands down. I love that the protagonist is a woman. This is the best thing I've seen all year.
I like that this short film is a mini-continuation of Stephen King's, "Salem's Lot" book/film. Terrific follow-up!!
It's based on "One for the Road," a story from "Night Shift" that's exactly that, a coda to "Salem's Lot."

She did not want to show she was terrified and told him she would be back after she checked the fridge in the back. She went back there and locked herself in the fridge/storage area. She finally fell asleep, still afraid to come back to the front of the bar. The next day, the owner walked in and he unlocked the storage area and found her. She had fallen asleep but told him of the weird, devil-like stranger.
WONDERFUL SALEMS LOT MOVIE IS ACTUALLY MY FAVOURITE HORROR MOVIE 💙♥️
Pet cemetery was the one that scared me...that was surely a great movie...😊
these colabs are fantastic
I like this, saw awhile back. Always been a BIG Stephen King fan!!
nice little town story. Thank you Stephen King !
Damn good adaptation of a great underrated story. Read it around 1980 it scared me. of course i went right out and bought salems lot
Loved it!! Thanks!!
Not bad at all. Kudos to the actors!
I just LOVE these kind of mystery shorts. Yesterday I started the movie Avatar part 2, but after 15 minutes it just dawned on me that 3 hours and 15 minutes was just too long. My subscription to Disney was almost over and it felt some kind of 'obligation' to watch this movie that was on my watchlist, although it's not quite my genre. I stopped watching, went to diner and afterwards watched shortfilms. Being a filmmaker myself who loves the thriller/mystery/horror genres, these kind of short films make me more happy and they are a lot more inspiring than a long movie like Avatar. I wonder if there are people here who recognise this.
Of course I do watch longer movies and in special cases series. The Haunting of Hill House is somewhere at the top of my list. I would love to see more of that kind of stuff. I also really appreciate psychological thrillers like Shutter Island. Thank you for sharing this Stephen King short.
Not a bad version of one of my favourite Stephen King short stories.
"Somewhere out there there's a little girl still waiting for her goodnight kiss..."
Made my day! Excellent.
Excellent, as always.
I read all of Stephen King's vampire books and they are second to none. For some reason us humans have a morbid fascination with vampires and they are a very entertaining bunch.
great short story. Never knew about this story by SK.
I think, you successfully reflected the mindset of locals AND a spot-on addition to Salem's Lot. Impressive work. Thanks for sharing!!!
Hii Sunshine, I Love These Videos n The Stories They Tell. I Especially Adore Your Haunted Videos, Greatest Stories Ever Told. Keep Up The Incredible Work You're A Legend!!
Good stuff! Well done!!
That was good! I remember that Stephen King story from when I was a teenager.
I love the movie Salem's Lot with David Soul this is a good follow-up too bad it wasn't longer people have the tendency to believe that something is so outrageous it can't be true stranger things are unknown in this world😮
This movie scared the s..t out of me when l was younger. The demon is what got me.
Wow this is great!
Well done! Another Stephen King fan here! 👍👍👍
Never get tired of this
Bloody good movie. Just wish it was longer....👍
What a GREAT adaptation!
The adaption of this story resulted in making the series 'Salem's Lot" There are many more short stories by King when he was writing as Richard Bach
Nice! That was cool. Love Salems Lot.
Watched alotve shorts. Ive got to say this made me forget i was watching a short! Seriously bug budget rival w limited resources an perfect red eyes.
Damn, I need more. This was great.
Excellent movie. I love creature feature shorts. Thanks for sharing.
It’s a fine enough adaptation, but the snowstorm is as much of a character in the story as anything else. Not only does it make the situation more desperate, the location more desolate, but the fact that the vampires walk above the snow is as iconic as the impact tremors from Jurassic Park.
