The 1970s saw horror up sticks from its traditional setting of crumbling Gothic European mansions and move into a shiny new home in the suburbs and small towns of the US. Films like Halloween, The Fog, The Amityville Horror and Poltergeist brought the supernatural to a setting most viewers, especially Americans, could easily relate to. On the page, Stephen King was doing similar. In his 1975 novel Salem's Lot, a vampire literally relocates to small town New England. While King had several bestsellers and a Brian de Palma adaptation of his debut novel Carrie by that point, it was director Tobe Hooper's 1979 Salem's Lot TV mini-series that really made King a household name, and crucially, it introduced the writer's work to a new fanbase too young to have been able to see Carrie in cinemas. With one of its two central heroes being a monster movie obsessed young boy, it also set the template for '80s movies like The Goonies and The Monster Squad, which of course would later be channelled by Netflix's flagship series Stranger Things.
