Pretty sure Salem's Lot was made into two different films.

Also, i think i might have talked to you about this before but i really hated The Long Walk

Not Salem's Lot; Jerusalem's Lot. Same town; different story.

Thanks Doc. I havent read that one yet. I'll have to make time for it among all the other books i have to read. Among his that i have on my bookshelf I still havent read Under The Dome, The Stand and The Dark Tower: The Drawing Of The Three so not sure when i'll be able to read it.

Jerusalem's Lot was written as kind of a high parody of Lovecraft. And it pulls it off, which is incredible.
