was Crockett island named after Mr Crockett from Salems Lot ?

It was not! I drew a lot of inspiration from the real-life island community of Tangier, Virginia. Tangier is a very isolated community out there in the grey waters of the Chesapeake, and it's so contained that linguists study the community because it has a dialect that only exists there. The most common surname on the island is Crockett, named for the first permanent settler John Crockett. Another very common surname there is Pruitt. I took names from Tangier's history as well, including Charles Scarborough, a landowner who held the patent for the island in the late 1600's (Leeza, Wade and Dolly adopted his name). Tangier's mayor is James "Ooker" Eskridge. Tangier is accessible only by ferry or small plane (only during daylight hours). There are two boats, and one of them is called the "Chesapeake Breeze" (we named ours "The Breeze" and "The Bell"), and we almost incorporated the small landing strip for a Cessna in the show but it posed too many story problems later. Tangier has an uninhabited northern portion of the island that is actually called the Uppards, and it is indeed populated by stray cats. The story Warren tells about dead bodies poking up in people's yards on Crockett is also a true phenomenon that occurs on Tangier. The school, the general store, the fact that there are no hotels on the island, and even the church were all inspired by the very real circumstances on Tangier. I was so taken with this real life community that for a long time I wanted to shoot the actual series there, but it wasn't feasible.
