Chapelwaite (EPIX - Stephen King S: Adrian Brody)
 

I searched for a thread about this show and found none. Chapelwaite is on EPIX and is based on Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot (apparently there's a new movie in the works as well). This is a prequel to the book.




I'm up to episode 5 and it's really getting good. This is a good view for King fans. Anyone else watching this?


Edit: Can a Mod edit the title to spell King's name correctly? I tried to immediately edit and couldn't. Thanks!

Edit Edit: Thank you!

I'm watching it and enjoying it. It's definitely a slow burn but much better then King's recent slow burn Lisey's Story.

I enjoyed Lisey's Story but I agree this is better.

Re: Chapelwaite (EPIX - Stephen King S: Adrian Brody)
 

I think it is, specifically, based on King's short story "Jerusalem's Lot," (included in his first collection of short stories Night Shift) which is, itself, a sort of prequel to the novel 'Salem's Lot.

The short story has also been included in certain editions of the 'Salem's Lot novel.

I caught the first episode during a free EPIX preview last month, and will eventually watch the series at some point.

I watched the first two episodes then decided that the setting and the slow pace were a better fit for my October horror view-a-thon so I'm just going to binge the rest then.

Things are really picking up with this. I think there's only one episode left. This seems like it will make a good lead-in to the new 'Salem's Lot movie (I hope they throw in a reference or two to the events of Chapelwaite, that would be cool).

There's 10 episodes in Season 1. De Vermis Myisteris was episode 7.

Re: Chapelwaite (EPIX - Stephen King S: Adrian Brody)
 

Cool! Three more episodes to look forward to!

Re: Chapelwaite (EPIX - Stephen King S: Adrian Brody)
 

yeah, me too. The season has been a classic "slow burn" but I've very much enjoyed it and it's getting really good now.

Re: Chapelwaite (EPIX - Stephen King S: Adrian Brody)
 

Is anyone still watching this? Two more episodes to go. I think

Re: Chapelwaite (EPIX - Stephen King S: Adrian Brody)
 

I'm caught up through episode 8. I think it's a 10 episode season. I'm in complete agreement with your thoughts.

Just binged this and thought it was awesome. I have not read the short story this is based on but always enjoyed the Salem's Lot book and especially the Tobe Hooper directed mini-series.

Surprisingly, there's no references or foreshadowing to Salem's Lot that I was able to pick up on. I also read that it got renewed for a second season, so maybe that's where they will expand or flash forward a bit.

I'm subscribing to Epix via Apple Channels and it's in 4K SDR / 5.1. If you watch it via the native Epix app it's only in HD / 2.0. FYI
