The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)

Starring: Ben Johnson, Dawn Wells
Director: Charles Pierce

Premise:
The year is 1946. In a small down in Texarkana a hooded figure starts killing the residents. Police investigate as the town waits in fear.

My Take:
The movie shows some age but it is still a well down flick. It's got a little of everything: some light hearted comedy, good police mystery, and a gruesome killer.
The great Ben Johnson chews up scenery with a masterful skills.

Rating: So Good
