The parade of remakes continues, but to be honest, this one could use another go-around. The Town that Dreaded Sundown is getting the redux treatment, and we have all the details you need right here. Dig it!
According to Variety, MGM is developing a remake of the 1976 horror movie which was based on actual events. MGM had no comment but has been asking agents for possible takes from writers to reboot the Charles B. Pierce film.
The original movie was based on five unsolved murders attributed to the Phantom Killer during three months in 1946 in and around the city of Texarkana on the border between Texas and Arkansas. Pierce shot large parts of the movie in and around Texarkana with extras recruited from local residents.
Look for more on this one as it comes.
