Directed by Edward Dein, written by Edward Dein and Mildred Dein
Starring Eric Fleming, Michael Pate and Kathleen Crowley
1959
It’s the old west and women are dying under mysterious
circumstances. Turns out, a vampire cowboy is on the loose.
You have to hand it to them: a vampire western is certainly
original. And, as handled here, it does away with most of the movie vampire
clichés and sticks with a more European folklore, differentiating it from all
the Dracula movies. Still, what should be an awesome premise ends up just being
boring. Sorta like COWBOYS AND ALIENS, decades later. Good idea, bad execution.
This is also a movie that’s very hard to find, and the VHS tape I
found was pretty garbled and hard to watch. Maybe that means I didn’t give it a
fair shake. Hard to tell.
