The Town That Dreaded Sundown

But when we were in that wave of remakes happening in the in the 2000s, there's one that slipped by a lot of people.

And I wanted to talk about the town that dreaded sundown.

this is the sequel kind of it's, it's, it's weird.

So in, in this movie, the events of the original film have happened and the movie about the events of the film have happened.

All right, so my last one is just, man, brutal slasher movie.

I did a revisit of The Town That Dreaded Sundown from 2014, not too long ago.

And it's so mean-spirited.

It's so fucking brutal.

And this was his first feature screenplay.

But after this, he would go on to write the remake slash sequel of The Town That Dreaded Sundown and write for television shows like Glee, Supergirl, Riverdale, and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Yeah.

also queer

2013, The Colony, To Jennifer, and A Family Property.

2014, The Sacrament, The Town That Dreaded Sundown Remake, and Annabelle.

We've been getting Annabelle ever since.

2015, Crimson Peak, speaking of Del Toro.

He's Chris in terms of horror.

He was in the Salem's Lot remake, The Town That Dreaded Sundown remake sequel.

Is that a legacy movie? That's a legacy movie, I guess.

Before legacy movies were a thing.

So we have an effective meta approach here.

This acknowledges that the original movie's existence was its own universe, placing it alongside other, like, horror meta entries like The Town That Dreaded Sundown remake or Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2.

So we also have some sharp digital commentary here.

Highlights like modern anxieties, including like digital desensitization to violence, inconsistent platform moderation standards, and online privacy vulnerabilities.

He is also in the '08 Prom Night remake.

He is in Shark Night from 2011 and he is in The Town That Dreaded Sundown, another remake from 2014.

So it kind of-

Yeah.
