Larry Cohen’s A Return to Salem’s Lot grows fangs for DVD

The exclusive DVD titles from the Waner Bros. archives continue to roll out with Larry Cohen’s unofficial sequel to Tobe Hooper’s Salem’s Lot, which available now at Amazon. This film hasn’t been released on the home video market since way back in the VHS days, so anyone who is a fan of the Larry Cohen/Michael Moriarty combo should give it a go. Look for a young Tara Reid in this one.

“In a certain New England town, it’s hard to keep the undead down. It’s shocking story continues courtesy of Larry Cohen, a maestro of cinematic horror (the It’s Alive trilogy) and writer of police-action thrillers (Best Seller, Maniac Cop), tapping into his senses of the macabre as well as satire in a clever chiller based on characters created by Stephen King. Joining in to bedevil and terrify are Michael Moriarty as an anthropologist asked to write a “bible” for the town’s ghastly group, Andrew Duggan as the leader of the town folk (including June Havoc and Evelyn Keyes) who hide their blood-feasting bent behind sweet exteriors and filmmaker Samuel Fuller in a rare on-screen role as a vampire hunter. For mortals who occasionally like to go to the devil – and come back – A Return to Salem’s Lot is one terrific terror trip.”
