Re. SALEM'S LOT: I've seen that PEYTON PLACE + DRACULA comparison a few times over the years. Any idea who said it, and where/when? Given that the TV scriptwriter for Hooper's version was the creator of PEYTON PLACE, I can't help but wonder if >>that<< led to the comparison. Or, does the comparison pre-date his hiring and is it in fact the reason he was hired?
