THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN 1977 (SCREAM FACTORY)

Another great Charles Pierce production.

Ben Johnson stars as Chief J.D. Morales, a policeman called into a small town called Texarkana in Arkansas after a series of brutal attacks and murders by what appears to be a sadist.

The killer wears a white hood over his head and likes to bits his female victims. Very strange stuff indeed. Andrew Prine is the local deputy sheriff who tracks the killer. There are some very effective moments in this lively thriller by Charles Pierce and this is a film that shouldn't be missed by suspense fans everywhere.

This is loosely based on a true case in 1946 and it co-stars Dawn Wells, Robert Aquino and Earl E. Smith. A hugh thanks to Scream Factory for finally putting this out in a gorgeous widescreen DVD and Blu-ray.
