For instance, in his 1986 novel It, the town of Derry, Maine is a core villain. In Stephen King's novels, the location plays a key component in the horrors that take place there. Out of them all, 'Salem's Lot contains the most gothic traits with eerie graveyards, abandoned houses, and a vampire population. The location is often recognized for being part of the three fictional Maine towns Stephen King has created over the years, which also include Castle Rock and Derry. The novel's events are set in Jerusalem's Lot, Maine, commonly referred to as 'Salem's Lot. Salem's Lot is one of the few vampire stories in the author's bibliography as well as one of the most popular. This led to several miniseries adaptations, the first being Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot adapted from the 1975 novel of the same name, which is one of 61 novels King has penned over the course of his career to date. Following its success, several other filmmakers and screenwriters flocked to his content in hopes of making the next great King movie. Stephen King has been an essential component of the horror genre since the publication of his novel Carrie in 1974, which was later followed up by a movie adaptation in 1976 from director Brian De Palma.
