It’s been a couple of months since last we spoke of a new version of The Town that Dreaded Sundown, but today some tasty tidbits arose from of all things an “American Horror Story” press day. Read on for more.

Shock Till You Drop reports that Alfonso Gomez-Rejon is in talks to direct the remake of the 1976 Charles B. Pierce horror classic with Ryan Murphy and Jason Blum producing.

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.
