It’s Halloween in Hollywood (and everywhere else too, allegedly), so let’s turn off the lights and tell some scary stories, shall we? Some horror movies that seemed scary when they came out take a decided turn toward the goofy with age. Salem’s Lot, the 1979 two-part adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, is not one of those movies. The scene of a child vampire hovering outside his older brother’s window, beckoning, remains chilling decades later. Vanity Fair’s Anthony Breznican spoke with members of the cast of the television movie about how they shot one of the creepiest scenes in pop-culture history.
Elsewhere in HWD, VF has an excerpt from the new book It’s Not TV: The Spectacular Rise, Revolution, and Future of HBOdetailing the tense moment in HBO’s history when a merger threatened the network’s future. The White Lotus is back for a second season, and VF will be watching it right along with you on our podcast Still Watching. This week, new cast member Will Sharpe stopped by the pod to chat why his new-money character, Ethan, might have decided to check into the White Lotus. Cate Blanchett is earning major awards buzz for her performance in Tár, and her character’s suits are as sharp as her performance. VF spoke with costume designer Bina Daigeler about the meticulously crafted wardrobe for the film, and how it helps paint the portrait of the unraveling maestro. The beloved Tom Hanks goofy character David S. Pumpkins made a surprise return to Saturday Night Live this weekend—let his legend guide you today. All that and more, today in HWD.
