The Town That Dreaded Sundown would probably actually work pretty well being riffed by either MST3K or Rifftrax as while it is a very good film it's also surprisingly inconsistent in tone in a way ripe for making fun of

In fact, here's my review from the May Horror Movie Marathon thread: --- Movie 2: The Town that Dreaded Sundown (12. Tubin')  Texarkana looked normal during the day, but everyone dreaded sundown. I found it while looking up other movies by Charles B. Pierce after watching the MST3K episode of the godawful Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues. And then I saw it was available on Tubi and figured "hey, let's see this piece of poo poo". But if Crescent Wrench or others feel like this isn't in the spirit of the challenge, I'll remove the claim. Imagine my surprise when the movie WASN'T a piece of poo poo at all, but a perfectly serviceable horror movie. That being said, there ARE obvious connections with Boggy Creek II. Jimmy Clem has a minor role in the movie, having played the world's greasiest redneck in Boggy Creek II. Much like that movie, The Town that Dreaded Sundown also features frequent voiceovers, but here they actually work for the most part and set the tone and mood. The movie reminded me a lot of Halloween, my favourite horror movie of all time. Much like in Halloween, a mysterious masked killer is preying on young people. The thing I really like in Halloween is how The Shape is filmed and portrayed like a force of nature. The movie doesn't explain his motives, doesn't give him an elaborate backstory. He just turns up and starts murderin'. The Town that Dreaded Sundown does a similar thing. The killer is a large man dressed in work clothes and wearing a bag with eye holes in it over his head. It's a rad as hell look, and because he doesn't have a single line of dialogue in the entire movie, he also feels threatening and alien the same way Michael Myers did. I'd say the killer here is easily the best part of the whole movie. Now, am I saying The Town that Dreaded Sundown is as good as Halloween? Absolutely not. Charles B. Pierce is demonstrably capable of better than Boggy Creek II, but he's no John Carpenter. The movie is competent and quite well shot, but the acting is often questionable, and there's a bunch of scenes that are either played for hokey comedy (including a weird slow motion car chase that culminates in a loving Dukes of Hazzard style car flying into a lake shot while banjo music plays), or just loving doesn't work. Like there's a scene where the killer slowly attaches a knife to a trombone and then stabs a woman to death by repeatedly blowing on the trombone. I have no loving idea what Charles B. Pierce thought he was going for there, but the viewer doing a Psyduck face probably wasn't it. Also, while Halloween gives us a main character to care about and puts her in the killer's sights, here the killer just goes after random people and all the main characters are cops who are never in any danger. Apparently we were supposed to care about them though, because the film concludes with an Animal House style recap of what happened to all of the characters. But it's still a pretty good time! The movie looks quite good and I for the most part enjoyed the tone and feel of the film. If there's been less questionable comedy scenes and more tension in the form of characters we gave a poo poo about, The Town that Dreaded Sundown could've been a really good horror movie. Turns out Charles B. Pierce could actually make movies when he wanted to, so now I'm even more curious about how the hell Boggy Creek II turned out the way it did. The best part: A lot of the violence is filmed in a very detached style, much like in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. There are no gory closeups or aggressive camera cuts, instead it feels like we're a passive observer just standing nearby watching the scene unfold. I really liked it in TCM and I really like it here as well.  / 5Challenges completed: 2/13 My May 2024 Movies; 1. Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, 2.

Oh, I remember them talking about that once. It would have been a lot of fun but God knows anything with Elvis is hard to get the rights for and expensive when you can. I forget the series, but I remember somebody talking about how getting 'Can't Help Falling in Love' basically cleaned out their licensed music budget.
