Salem's Lot

Sharon Bobbitt joins Mike and Allyson for this special Halloween bonus episode of You Made Me Watch. Sharon, who I'll refer to as "my mom" here on out, read the Stephen King novel Salem's Lot when it first came out in the late 70s. She was disappointed by the made for television two-part event that premiered on CBS in 1979, but was eager to revisit it to see how it holds up. Mike has very vague recollections of it being terrifying, but he may be confusing those memories with the story his mom tells of reading the novel late at night while the kids were asleep, and Mike's dad was out of town. A storm crashed outside, and the electricity went out leaving my mom in the dark!

If there's one take away from this, it's that David Soul is no Harrison Ford, but then again Han Solo and Chewbacca are no Starsky and Hutch!
