The Phantom Killer Rises in the First Photos from The Town That Dreaded Sundown

The original film, directed by Charles B. Pierce, took its inspiration from the 1940s Texarkana murders in which a “Phantom Killer” stalked the town, however, the remake is taking a more “meta” approach.

In this redo, Timlin plays a young girl who survives a copycat massacre at the film’s annual tribute screening and sets out to solve the mystery of who’s recreating the unsolved Sackhead murders, using clues from her own past.

Gary Cole, Dennis O’Hare, Veronica Cartwright and Joshua Leonard also star.

MGM is handling distribution. No word yet on a release date, however, we’ll have some news about this one very, very soon…
