We lived in the "Barlow's Antique Shop" house at 217 Francis St (across from the "Police Station") from 1998-2001. Neat old place. We were there when "The Majestic" with Jim Carrey was filmed all around us in 2001, and got a modest stipend from Castle Rock Entertainment for agreeing to keep our cars and ourselves out of view when they were shooting within camera view of our place.

The original Salem's Lot 1979 still gives scares me to this day everytime I watch it on Halloween night! Congratulations to the cast, crew and director Tobe Hooper for a great film that has stood as a classic!! One particular Halloween night 33 years ago (1982) it was very foggy out and we had large windows in the apartment we rented while watching the televised Salem's Lot, when around the window scene with Mark's encounter with Danny Glick the phone rang and I picked it up and this young teenager on the other end said to me whispering "Your going to die tonight"....and I replied back in a raspy voice to him "oh yeah well your going to die tonight because I know where you live" lol and he abruptly hung up the phone! You never know what kind of crank calls you'll get.....or the response! No word of a lie that is how it happened!! To this day I still think of that night in 1983 when watching Salem's Lot the 1979 version on Halloween every year.

This is awesome! Salem's lot was one of my favorite movies I have always thought the older movies are more scarier than the new ones my father said today's movies kind of look like video games he's always said his generation the 70s&80s we're the Best!!!

who's the geek who disliked?? i'm sitting in the middle of this town right at this very moment, and I've been checking out the sights all day. the town is just picture perfect for this movie!

To the people who went out of their way to go to the film locations of my FAVOURITE horror novel and videoed..THANK YOU. You have done us folk here proud. THANK YOU for sharing.

So cool to go back and see the locations,it's good to know much of the town hasn't changed at all.Salem's Lot will always be one of my all time favourites,Barlow always scared me when I was a kid and he still creeps me out these days no matter how many times I watch the dvd.

Wow... I was surprised about the Marsten House. Kinda wild that it was just a facade built around an existing house.

So cool. One of my favorite movies of all time. I love the music also. Quite fitting.

Excellent video friend! This was one of the best vampire movies imo. Creepy music goes well with it! Too bad you couldnt go up the driveway at the Marsten house to see if Barlow was home. lol.....Good Work!

perfect location for this book and movie. very cool

My Most Favourite film ever on you tube, As a child I loved this movie and still watch it to this day, Im from scotland and always dreamed of building a real marsten house, amazing thankyou so much for this video.

Great stuff. A real spooky video. Salem's Lot scared the **** out of me as a kid back in '79.

Absolutely awesome! I first watched this movie when I was 7. Scared the heck out of me. I always wanted to see the filming location. Very nice video. I hope to visit there one day.

Nicely done. It's a great movie, especially for one made in the seventies and on television too. Salem's Lot is probably King's best novel next to The Shining.

Really cool video. Thank you for taking the time to film and post this.

What a beautiful country the USA is. Wish I could work and live there in the future.

Been a fan of Salem’s lot since I first saw it as a ten year old in 1979. Gotta visit Ferndale, definitely on my bucket list!

It's without question, then in 1979 and now in 2020, the scariest horror film ever made, and what's surprising it was toned down horror wise for TV!! It was actually made for TV. Incredible.

Thanks for sharing this. Great video! I love this movie! I was talking to the guy that played Ralphie Glick recently. He said they shot the window scenes backwards to give the smoke that weird appearance. Very creepy and well done! The 2004 version just doesn't have that eerie feel to it.

1979's Salem's Lot will always be my favourite movie from King's work. Especially for it's unique & goose bumping locations. Thanks for sharing this.

The original Salems Lot is my favourite horror. Remember as a child watching it. Brings back memories. Great film. A classic.

Brilliant! No people about. Greetings from wales uk. My favourite movie .

awesome, just awesome. thank you for posting. gave me goosebumps at 54 yrs of age. lol.

What a beautiful town!

STOP FILMING MY HOUSE..."Just kidding!" Best horror/movie ever made! I don't just want to visit this place...I want to live there...no joke! I would love to own a piece of Salem's Lot! Big fan!!!!!!! Thank you sooo much for taking time to film this & for posting. Peace. Mr B. "Children of the Corn" would be a cool one to film!

I saw the movie when it was first on tv and it scared the hell out of me. Great movie and book. Usually every Holloween, I bust out with the DVD. Boy the place where they filmed hasn't changed much at all.

Excellent footage! Well put together and the music was on par with the feel of the town!

Film Fact : The scenes where the child vampire Glick brothers are shown floating outside the windows, was in part, filmed in reverse offering a more chilling effect.

This was great!!! Thank you! It really gives you a glimpse into how creative the movie industry is with improvising movie sets.

notice no one is walking around during the daylight hours

Thx for the memories. I miss my childhood 😢

If you were a child when this was on TV.. that window scene with the boy floating most likely still haunts you to this day.

This is very well done!!! My girlfriend and I were just there last May and went to all the film locations as well. Ferndale's a great little town. Thanks for posting.

Love this video all these years later!

More than 30 years later and the Marsden house still looks scary. Excellent video. Thanks a lot!

The ultimate vampire movie to me. Thanks for uplaoding this, really neat seeing the actual place and wow that grave yard looks perfect for a movie

THAT was FASCINATING! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for sharing! The music used in this clip was so good that it should have been incorporated into the move! EXTREMELY well done!

BRILLIANT VIDEO THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE TOUR WELL DONE SALEMS LOT IS MY FAVOURITE STEPHEN KING MOVIE 👍👍👍

This is on my bucket list before I pass on 1 day. I'd love to have lived there bc it's my all time favorite tv movie. 🧛⚰️

I always wanted to visit the Marsden House and stay there the night. Yep the original Ferndale town is in the Rhondda Valley's, (Singer Tom Jones country) Wales, UK, it's 20 minutes up the road from where I grew up. My late grandmother was from Ferndale, she was a Celtic Welsh fluent speaker to. Europe's oldest language (Latin aside). Thanks for the video.

Scary movie. One of the best made-for-TV movies. I remember it well.

great job!!!!!

My favorite horror movie! Thank you so much!

That cemetary did it. All the old memories of watching this movie came back. I swear i wouldnt step foot in that graveyard for love or money.

Thanks for that....interesting to see where it was really filmed...the movie scared the crap out of me back then.

my all time top vampire film,and it still packs a punch today..the long version of the film is of course the best,great acting and a great film.very interesting to see the filming locations,thanks very much..;-).

This is a great video. Salem's Lot is the benchmark that all vampire movies should be compared to. Barlow is the scariest vampire next to Nosferatu, which is what he was based on.

Great video, fantastic to see all the locations as they are now. Thanks from the UK! :)

Thanks for this. Excellent work! and good ambient music too. Also, very beautiful town.

That was so cool and the music was just made for it! Awesome work.

I love this movie, and the locations. I want to visit this area someday.

This movie changed me for life thank you!

🇲🇽 mexico love Stephen king films Salem's lot it's at very kick ass movie Bravo 👍👏👍👏👏👏👍bravo 5 10 2021

Should 've showed the real estate office across from the antique store. " what are you doin out here Weasel?"

Cool stuff. That cemetery is old and creepy looking for sure.

My fiance and i are big Stephen King fans!!! we've seen all his movies!!! We love horror movies!!!

Really nice work! Until recently I sort of assumed it wasn't shot in California. On film it really does pass for a New England locale. Good score music for this video also...so ominous...already got it stuck in my head.

Great job for a great movie! Thanks for sharing, very cool!!

I've always been a big fan of this film. Thank you so much for making this video, great insight. Cheers!

Great movie one of the best of all time and scary.

Thank you for sharing. I learned alot from this video.

It is even scary to see those changes. Nothing last forever.

I love the filter they used to make this!

Just ordered one of your soil pendants. I actually saw this video first then went online to search around for 'Salem's Lot stuff, stumbled upon your auction and got redirected back to this video! What a great idea, a real piece of the Lot!

This is fantastic! Always funny how David Soul's Jeep door won't shut good! lol!

MUY BUEN VIDEO SOBRE LA LOCACIÓN DE ESTE FILM DE TERROR QUE A MÍ PARTICULARMENTE ME IMPRESIONÓ SOBREMANERA...HASTA EL DÍA DE HOY CON 44 AÑOS QUE ME SIGUE DANDO MIEDO...EXCELENTE PELÍCULA...GRACIAS POR LAS IMÁGENES DEL PUEBLO DE FERNDALE-CALIFORNIA...HASTA EL DÍA DE HOY INCLUSIVE PENSÉ QUE SE HABÍA FILMADO EN EL ESTADO DE MARYLAND O MASSACHUSETS...EN EL NORESTE DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS...

I love this!!! This movie is so amazing one of my fav's!!!! Thank you!

GREETINGS FROM BUENOS AIRES-ARGENTINA...!!!

Surprising about the Marsten House -- I just figured they cut to scenes filmed on some studio back lot. Had no idea they build a façade around an existing house in Ferndale!

loved it! thanks a lot!!

Awesome video!! Great choice in the music to accompany the video

Nicely done!

Thanks for uploading this. I loved the book and the film.

I absolutely LOVE Salem's Lot both the novel & the movie with David Soul. Thank you so much for sharing this video. A job so well done. I have just one problem with this video, pity you didn't go up to the house at twilight & even though 'THE' house was only a fake it still gives me the creeps. Excellent job though.

This is absolutely fascinating. Love this ❤️

My all time favourite horror movie. Just amazing, and a BIG inspiration on my artwork.......btw, what about the music of the video?? It is beauty too, regards.

Nicely done. Thanks.

I was just in Ferndale! Wish I'd visited the cemetery!

Gracias a ti por dejarnos ver

Amazing !!!!!!... thanks a lot

Thanks so much for posting this!!!!!!!!!!

La melodia mejor q las imagenes con sus quiebres de tonos lejos lo mejor.......por si sola te provoca suspenso y terror

Still the BEST!!! SCORE of any SALEM'S LOT documentary

just wonderful!

Nice video. An interesting fact is that Ferndale is Guy Fieri's hometown.

Wow! Awesome video. Tks 4 the great post.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!Thanks so much for the upload!!

the facade on the Marsten House is movie magic at its finest!

so great 2 see this,thanks so much

Loved it. Gotta go sometime.

Filming this town using a 360 degree action camera will be a great bonus.

Imagine living there and watching the movie scary

brilliant work, have to take this for the facebook group "the victims of salem's lot... fantastic.

Brilliant!...thanks for this

That graveyard still looks spooky That whole town does I bet that place was never the same after the movie came out

The vampire children at the window 😱if you know you know, terrifies me still

The facade looks better that that shack, the should have just left it up! :-)

Nice job!

Two cemeteries in Stephen Kings books are called Harmony Hill; Salem's Lot and Silver Bullet.

It looks beautiful there...... I want to retire there.
