Head into Halloween with the 35th Anniversary Screening of a Cult Classic!

John Ford meets Hammer Horror in Sundown, one of the quirkiest vampire Westerns ever made. In the desert town of Purgatory, a pair of feuding vampire clans have lived for hundreds of years by drinking synthetic blood. The arrival of a bumbling descendent of Van Helsing leads to an all-out bloodsucker war. Sundown features plenty of cowboy thrills, creature effects and a cultish cast including David Carradine and Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell.

Introduced by Brad Sykes, author of Terror in the Desert: Dark Cinema of the American Southwest, who will sign copies of his book following the screening.

Directed by Anthony Hickox | Starring David Carradine, Morgan Brittany, and Bruce Campbell 

Rated R

The What is a Western? Film Series explores the wide range of movies that can be considered Westerns, and the ways in which they shape our understanding of the American West. Each screening includes a guest lecturer who will introduce the film and explain its significance in the genre.
