	OldMod67 "..all the cats, you know who they are.. " Member since Nov 2010 965 Points	From an article by Bill Kelly, published in Cinefantastique, vol 9, issue 2 (1980): Richard Kobritz (producer) -"I think it stands a better chance as a television miniseries than a normal feature film." Bill Kelly- So the decision was made to turn Salem's Lot into a miniseries and thereby lick the problem of its unwieldy length. Actually, though the production is technically labelled a miniseries, it is basically a four-hour movie (3 & half hours, figuring commercial time) scheduled for successive nights. I bought this on VHS in the eighties first in the movie version (disappointing, remembering what I'd seen in the two-parter!) The last time I bought it was the 2 disc dvd, which only suffers from the TV spoilers before each of the two parts... I don't use IMDb so I wouldn't have known what went on there anyway. Yep, movie version in cinema world. TV two parter in TV world. Can't see the problem here.
