As the tentacles of evil spread like a scourge over the seemingly peaceful community, and rivulets of fresh, bright-red blood stain the soil of Ben's hometown, Straker and ghastly Barlow show their true colours. Now, inexperienced but dauntless hunters attempt to take matters into their own hands, as dear ones fall prey to the army of darkness, and, sadly, Father Donald Callahan proves to be no match for the omnipotent ancient vampire. Will the nightmare ever cease? Can Ben Mears alone rid Salem's Lot of the parasite that feeds off fear, and the fragrant human blood?
