If you’re getting ready to do some serious scary movie watching as Halloween approaches, you might want to add this title to your list. This remake of the 1979 film is a brand new release, but is also available for you to rent at home via Amazon. So feel free to add something more recent to your list of horror movies to watch over the next couple weeks.
Here’s the full synopsis:
Based on a terrifying true story, “The Town That Dreaded Sundown” picks up sixty-five years after a masked serial killer terrorized the small town of Texarkana, when the “moonlight murders” begin again. Is it a copycat or something even more sinister? A lonely high school girl, with dark secrets of her own, may be the key to catching the murderer. Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (“American Horror Story”), the screenplay is by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (“Carrie”), based on the 1976 cult classic film of the same title directed by Charles B. Pierce and is produced by Blumhouse Productions’ Jason Blum (“The Paranormal Activity” franchise) and Ryan Murphy (“American Horror Story”).
