Salem's Lot Blu-ray delivers stunning video and solid audio in this enjoyable Blu-ray release
Vampires are invading a small New England town. It's up to a novelist and a young horror fan to save it.
For more about Salem's Lot and the Salem's Lot Blu-ray release, see Salem's Lot Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on March 25, 2021 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5.
Warner Brothers and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive SteelBook release for Director Tobe Hooper's 1975 Stephen King adaptation
'Salem's Lot.' The disc is identical to that
found in the wide release. This is the second of two 'Salem's Lot' SteelBooks released in
consecutive years. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for
more on the SteelBook's look and feel.
Warner Brothers' Salem's Lot SteelBook is of a matte finish. It's lightly textured and will not show basic handling fingerprints. The design is
simple and
elegant. The front panel depicts a scene from the film in which the recently converted vampire Ralphie Glick is tapping on his brother's bedroom
window, floating about outside of it and enticing his brother to invite him inside. The film's title appears in large blood red letters top center. The
rear panel is all black save for a small central image of the Vampire Barlow. Only his face and long fingernailed hands are visible; his black cloak blends
into the black background. The spine features the film's title in white slightly above center. A Warner Brothers logo has been placed at the bottom.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked under the left-hand side tabs. The single Blu-ray disc sits on its own right-hand-side hub. The inner print is a
two-panel spread which is, again, bleak and gray and presents a nighttime exterior view of the Marsten House, one of the key locations from the story.
On the bottom left is a white billing block.

It's curious that Warner Brothers would so quickly release a second SteelBook variant for Salem's Lot when the first pressing was quite good. There's nothing new here beyond the packaging
and the inclusion of the digital code. The film is well over four decades old, and, well, there's just not a good logical reason that immediately springs to
mind to release it again unless one wants to watch a three-hour, 4+ decade-old film on their phone or tablet. Anyway, this one's nice enough, too, but
in this reviewer's
humble opinion nowhere near so much as the 2018 edition. For anyone who wants the digital code or likes the looks of this one, well, go for
it.
