Cowboys Will Battle Witches in an Upcoming Horror-Western Film Called THE PALE DOOR
If you’re a fan of horror and western films, there’s a great sounding film coming that combines the two genres. It’s called The Pale Door and I love the concept!
The story follows “a gang of cowboys and a mysterious woman who seek shelter in a seemingly uninhabited ghost town after a disastrous train robbery. Seeking help for their wounded leader they are surprised to stumble upon a welcoming brothel in the town’s square but soon discover that the town is home to a coven of witches and blood-thirsty wolves.”
This sounds like a film that I would really enjoy. I love these kinds of stories and this could be a ton of fun. The movie has an ensemble cast that includes 13 Reasons Why star Devin Druid, Zachary Knighton (The Hitcher), Melora Walters (Magnolia), Bill Sage (We Are What We Are), Pat Healy (The Innkeepers), Stan Shaw (Rocky), Natasha Bassett (Hail, Caesar!), Noah Segan (Looper) and Tina Parker (Better Call Saul).
The movie will come from director Aaron B. Koontz (Camera Obscura) from a script written by Keith Lansdale. The film will be executive-produced by Cold In July novelist and co-producer Joe R. Lansdale and Author Lansdale is also a creative and script consultant on the film. Koontz had this to say in a statement:
“I love the idea of mixing these two disparate worlds of horror and western, and to do so with the help of Joe and Keith Lansdale, feels like the perfect devil’s playground. It’s 3:10 To Yuma meets The Descent, but doused, and then set on fire with psychological horror. Once this gets going, it’s relentless.”
Producer James Norrie added:
“Buyers are looking for high concept genre projects that stand out from the crowd. This is a film about cowboys battling witches. With rabid wolves and unholy ravens. The response from the market has been electric and we couldn’t be more excited to be involved.”
I can’t wait to see how this movie turns out! What do you all think of the concept?
