Saw the 79 version as a kid when it first broadcast. Scared the bleep out of me. A few weeks after I woke up in the middle of the night to the distinct sound of tapping and scratching on my 2nd floor bedroom window right over my bed.

Same here. I was a kid as well and had never been more scared in my life. For weeks afterwards I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare out my window from bed waiting for the vampires to arrive.

Salem's Lot traumatized a generation of Gen-X children.

Lol. Not just Gen-Xers. Some of older sibs, too...
