Ahead of its upcoming debut on Max, the official trailer for Salem’s Lot has arrived.

The film follows author Ben Mears (Lewis Pullman) as he returns to his childhood home of Jerusalem’s Lot in search of inspiration for his next book only to discover his hometown is being preyed upon by a bloodthirsty vampire.

In addition to Pullman, the film stars Alfre Woodard (Dr. Cody), Makenzie Leigh (Susan Norton), Bill Camp (Matthew Burke), Spencer Treat Clark (Mike Ryerson), Pilou Asbæk (Straker), and John Benjamin Hickey (Father Callahan).
