‘The Conjuring’ duo James Wan and Gary Dauberman are to reunite yet again to tackle an adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘Salem’s Lot’.

Wan will produce alongside with Roy Lee and Mark Wolper whilst Dauberman will pen the script as well as serving as executive producer.

As yet, no director has been set to take the helm.

King’s 1975 horror was his second published novel and tells the story of a writer named Ben Mears who returns to the town of Jerusalem’s Lot (or ‘Salem’s Lot for short) in Maine, where he had lived from the age of five through nine, only to discover that the residents are becoming vampires.
