From the Arrow Video press release:
On March 31, horror masterpiece Salem’s Lot arrives on 4K UHD with both the original TV mini-series version and the shorter theatrical cut distributed internationally. Director Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre) scared millions of primetime viewers with his adaptation of Stephen King’s second novel. The limited edition release features brand new 4K restorations of both versions, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras.

Bestselling author Ben Mears (David Soul, Starsky & Hutch) returns to his childhood home of Salem’s Lot, Maine, to tap into the source of his nightmares, intending to rent the ominous and haunted Marsten House. Mears feels the house is evil, fueled by rumors surrounding the original owner, Hubie Marsten, after he killed himself inside.

As a boy, Mears had snuck into the abandoned mansion and encountered the ghost of Marsten, an experience that never left him. Mears still wants to get inside the creepy place to receive literary inspiration, but his plan is thwarted when he learns the house has already been purchased by antiques dealer Richard Straker (James Mason, Lolita) and his mysterious partner Kurt Barlow (Reggie Nalder, The Dead Don't Die). When a new horror hits the small town and people begin to disappear, Mears wonders if he revived the undead evil by returning home?

The all-star cast includes Fred Willard (This Is Spinal Tap), Bonnie Bedelia (Die Hard), Lance Kerwin (James at 15), Geoffrey Lewis (High Plains Drifter), George Dzundza (Basic Instinct), Elisha Cook Jr. (Rosemary’s Baby), and Brad Savage (Red Dawn).

Special features include 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentations in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) of both versions of the film; the original lossless mono audio; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; a Salem’s Lot town sign sticker; double-sided foldout poster; brand new audio commentaries; an archival audio commentary by director Tobe Hooper; commercial bumpers; the original broadcast version of the antlers death; the original shooting script gallery; brand new interviews with Mick Garris and others; a video appreciation; new featurettes about the locations of Salem’s Lot and more; the trailers; an image gallery; and a collectors’ perfect-bound booklet.

This should be a real treat!  One of the best Stephen King adaptations with surprising talent behind the camera for a TV miniseries.  How cool is it to get both the TV and edited movie version in one package?
