I'm so confused..... (SPOILERS)


Okay, did not read the book, but I don't get a lot of this story.

The woman who owned the boarding house, WHAT were her childhood memories? How did she escape if she were in danger back then?

What is the difference between Salem's Lot and Jeruselem's Lot?

They decide to kill the main vampire, and the others will die (?) But why does the blonde girl live? And what was the rational for not putting a stake through her heart...I mean, what did they THINK would happen when she woke up?

When they find the main vampire, I guess the bodies stacked up near him aren't vampires, but "meals". Why didn't they become vampires, too?

Why are the vampires eating garbage at the dump site? If they can eat garbage, why are they chasing people, too? (Or are they hunting for rats??)

Who is the priest in the hospital with? Is he getting a blood transfusion? Does the orderly kill him?

The teenager killed a whole town of vampires himself after Rob Lowe left town????

Evie the girl who owns the board house use to sneak up to hubie marstens house and did stuff because he was a pervert but it just so happens she use to be a dirty girl back in the day also

jerusalems lot is the same as salems lot without the jeru

When they kill the head vamp all the other camps still live they never said destroying the head vampire would kill the others and the reason they left the blonde girl is because the priest said " it's been enough of a gruesome day"

The priest in the hospital is the same priest throughout the film and no it was mark Petrie who killed him

no Ben and mark left the town together after burning all the vampires homes leaving them to die in the sun presumably anyway

"a father can't murder his own children that would be in bad taste"

Oh I forgot the vampires at the dump site are eating rats and seagulls because they pretty much turned everyone in the town

All good questions here. Since its a film with vampires in it, its just easier to sit back and proclaim the answers to your questions are plot holes. How can we realistically reason when we are dealing with vampires?

Vampires don't exist? Um, have you ever seen NYS Governor Kathy Hochul?

Shes a bloodsucker, no doubt. Like every other democrat
