The paper was supposedly printed in 1956, at a time when the term "DUI" was not yet in use
Line of Events
An author returns to his hometown of Jerusalem's Lot in search of inspiration for his next book, only to discover that the townspeople are being attacked by a bloodthirsty vampire.. Writer Gary Dauberman told Den of Geek in June 2019 that his goal with the new version of Salem's Lot is to make vampires frightening again. He wants to get away from the sexier, more romanticized undead that has infested pop culture for much of the past quarter century, thanks to everything from Interview with the Vampire to Twilight to The Vampire Diaries.. When Ben is reading old newspapers on microfilm in the library, a headline reads "Local Couple Victims of DUI".
There was definitely good creepy atmosphere

Good action scenes
It had the makings of a good horror movie, I just think it would have fared better as a mini series. We needed more time to get to know these characters better. More time to develop these relationships. I think Lewis does a really good acting job with what he's given but his character needs more development.
He's kind of nothing character
His backstory doesn't play into the story in any way, except for a vague "only the outsiders win" kind of way. Like I thought him being a writer (besides being the obvious Stephen King stand in) would serve a purpose, like maybe he's the one to do research, but no. The only other thing we know about him is that his parents died when he was a kid and that serves no purpose either. Again, at least Lewis does a good job with what little is given to him.

But as said, I think a mini series would have been better to give more time for the characters.. The final season of "What We Do in the Shadows" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
