The news comes today that Uncork’d Entertainment has acquired writer-director Owen Conway’s horror-western Ghost Town, which will ride into town this March. We also have the first image from the film, which echoes old-fashioned post-mortem photography, when loved ones had pictures taken with the dead in the Victorian era.
The film, which also stars Conway (Eminence Hill), also features Eva Hamilton (Death Kiss), Becky Jo Harris (Spiked), and Amelia Haberman (The Covenant), among others.
The film is set in 1877 Arizona, where a drifter takes a job as a barman. After a series of bizarre and horrifying deaths, he finds himself the target of suspicion. Desperate to escape the noose, he is soon at the center of a supernatural mystery that plagues the town.
“GHOST TOWN is a remarkable achievement, not only because it was shot during the height of the pandemic but because it combines two genres that don’t normally cross – horror and the western.” said Keith Leopard, President Uncork’d Entertainment. “The film will really put Owen Conway on the map as a filmmaker to watch.”
Executive producer Robert Conway negotiated the deal on behalf of the film team with Keith Leopard of Uncork’d Entertainment.
We’ll keep you posted.
