To start off the spooky season, we bring you 1988’s GHOST TOWN! Directed by Richard McCarthy (well, Richard Governor as far as the DGA is concerned), this film stars Catherine Hickland as a woman who abandons her wedding and is kidnapped by old-timey ghosts and Franc Luz as a semi-law-abiding deputy who tries to save her. And trust us, you’ve never met ghosts like this! Seriously, they often don’t make sense, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying this horror western, which also taught us an unique German curse word, what to do after your car spontaneously combusts, and that perhaps this whole film was an Old West version of THE GAME!
