I mentioned in the pinned post on this community that once I start posting Weird West movies that take place in the modern day you’ll know I’m starting to run out of ideas. Well, we’ve reached that point.

Ghost Town takes place in the modern day (of 1988, when the movie was made). It’s about a girl who gets kidnapped by a bunch of zombies in an old west ghost town and only a modern-day sheriff can save her. I’ll be honest with you, I’ve never seen this movie. I just came across it while looking for lists of Weird West movies and this looks right up my alley. I wish it was streaming somewhere.

Here’s a trailer. And seriously, let me know if you find it streaming somewhere.

    Yeah, once we start discussing modern day movies it’s hard to draw the line between Weird West and just a vampire movie in an abandoned town. I was thinking about John Carpenter’s Vampires too, which has a final showdown in an abandoned western town kinda like how From Dusk Till Dawn is in an isolated bar.

      How about this: originally, Big Trouble In Little China was written as a western. John Carpenter liked the idea of it being set in Chinatown
