Curse of the Undead (1959)

Directed by Edward Dein

Western | Horror

Overview

A mysterious epidemic has struck an Old West frontier town and young girls are falling deathly ill. Doc Carter, his lovely daughter Dolores, and preacher Dan Young have their hands full caring for the infirm. When one of the patients dies unexpectedly, Dan notices two puncture wounds on her neck. His investigation leads him to the strange gunslinger Drake Robey, who always seems to be slower on the draw than his opponents, but who—despite being outdrawn, and even shot—always manages to survive these deadly encounters. Dan soon discovers that Drake also has an aversion to crucifixes, sleeps in coffins, and cannot tolerate sunlight…

Viewing Notes

Always nice to find an older horror movie I haven’t seen especially a western horror, which there aren’t many. But this is the second I’ve seen this month for 31DoH after DEAD BIRDS.

This one is decent with a gunslinger who is a vampire. Would be a good premise to remake but perhaps it has bc it seems familiar.
