"Curse Of The Undead" (1959)
- Micheal Pate Plot Synopsis: IMDB The cinema's first vampire Western! Young women in a small Western town are dying one by one of an unknown malady involving massive blood loss. The Carter family's ranch is being terrorized by ruthless land baron Buffer. And a mysterious black-clad gunfighter with an aversion to sunlight has just arrived in town Phantom's Review: I've always been a fan of both westerns and horror movies, (especially the classic black and white movies)and on those rare occasions that someone tries to combine the two always interests me. While this is basically a standard "B" movie. It has some very nice performances from the actors and it maintains, both, a great horror atmosphere (with some cool spooky music)and some classic western action. If you don't take it to seriously, this is a fun movie.

"The Man From Del Rio" (1956)
- Anthony Quinn, Katy Jurado Dave Robles, a Mexican gunfighter passing through the town of Mesa out draws and kills a famous outlaw. He's then invited by a former gunfighter turned saloon owner named Barrister to join a gang he's forming and take over the town. Instead Robles takes the job as Sheriff and becomes Barrister's enemy. Phantom's review: A very well acted little movie. Light on action, but has a good story and is an interesting character study. Watch for legendary character actor Whit Bissell as the town drunk. He steals every scene he's in.
