Prioritize:
A Return to Salem's Lot was not a success and there is no reason to return there. The first film was good and worth watching, but this is not to be taken as a meaningful sequel. The vampires aren't scary, the atmosphere isn't suspenseful, it just drags on, and the main trio is essentially toothless, although they somehow manage to survive surprisingly long. A failed film. ()
