Features: DVD
Rustle yourself up and hold on tight for these four "Westerns from Hell". Featured on this single disc are four films that will make you shreik with terror and want to join a rodeo all at once: Tombstone Canyon, Rawhide Terror, Vanishing Riders & Wild Horse Phantom!In Tombstone Canyon, while trying to find the answer to his mystery-shrouded past, Ken Mason narrowly escapes an ambush at Tombstone Canyon...which is haunted by the mysterious and disfigured Phantom, whose strange cry is a warning of death! In Rawhide Terror, while disguised as Indians, a group of renegades attacks and murders the parents of two boys for gold and a map to their mine. The boys, bearing similar birthmarks, survive but become separated after the older brother, Jim, cracks up and disappears. Ten years later, the killers are being hunted down and killed by the Rawhide Terror, A.K.A. the still-not-quite-all-there Jim. And that's just the normal part of this wild film, originally slated as a 10-chapter serial but ultimately released as a single feature! In Vanishing Riders, Sheriff Bill Jones and his adopted son, Tim, deck themselves out in ghost makeup and skeleton rider outfits in order to take on a gang of outlaws in this spooky twist on a familiar western plot. In Wild Horse Phantom, Buster Crabbe (Flash Gordon), Fuzzy St. John, outlaws, and The Devil Bat! That's right, the king-sized, power-diving monster from the Bela Lugosi classic returns in this "Billy Carson" B-western, which also throws in a crazy-laughing miner who might be completely round the bend. From infamous poverty row studio PRC, who apparently never threw away a single prop.
Editor's Note
The CREEPY COWBOYS collection presents a quartet of vintage Westerns infused with elements of the macabre: in TOMBSTONE CANYON (1932), a disfigured killer lures victims to their deaths with his phantom cry; in RAWHIDE TERROR (1934), a roving killer leaves strips of rawhide on his victims; in WILD HORSE PHANTOM (1944), a haunted tunnel prevents two prison escapees from recovering their cache of stolen loot; and in VANISHING RIDERS (1935), a sheriff and his adopted son disguise themselves as ghosts to frighten a gang of outlaws.
