Answer: Salem's Lot

'Salem's Lot' was made for tv and starred James Mason, Bonnie Bedelia, and David Soul. :) It was a four hour mini-series and aired over two nights. Now when they show it on the Sci-Fi channel or USA they show both parts over the course of one day....but it was a mini-series when it first aired.

2. In the movie version of 'The Body' who plays Vern?

That's a young Jerry O'Connell as the chubby Vern. Jerry went on to star in 'Joe's Apartment', 'Sliders', and 'Jerry Maguire' and he lost all that baby fat too!
