Salem’s Lot adds Alfre Woodard, Makenzie Leigh, Bill Camp and Spencer Treat Clark

September 6, 2021 by Gary Collinson

Having cast its Ben Mears last week in Lewis Pullman (Bad Times at the El Royale), New Line’s Stephen King adaptation Salem’s Lot has filled out its cast with four new additions, led by Oscar-nominee Alfre Woodard in the role of a gender-swapped Dr. Cody.

Joining Pullman and Woodard in the cast of the new film, which is being written and directed by It screenwriter and Annabelle Comes Home helmer Gary Dauberman, are Makenzie Leigh (The Assistant) as Susan Norton, love-interest to Pullman’s Ben, Bill Camp (The Queen’s Gambit) as former high school teacher Matthew Burke, and Spencer Treat Clark (Glass) as gravedigger Mike Ryerson.

Based on King’s 1975 novel – famously adapted as a two-part TV miniseries in 1979 – Salem’s Lot follows Ben Mears, a writer who returns to his home town of Jerusalem’s Lot, only to find it under attack from vampires.

Salem’s Lot brings together the producing teams from the hit horror franchise The Conjuring Universe and It – James Wan and Michael Clear of Atomic Monster and Roy Lee of Vertigo – and New Line will be hoping that this new take on the horror classic achieves a similar level of success.
