Horror Western
Horror Western is a genre that blends elements of traditional Westerns with horror themes. It often features classic Western settings, such as dusty towns and vast landscapes, while incorporating supernatural elements, monsters, or psychological terror. This fusion creates a unique atmosphere where the lawlessness of the Wild West meets the fear and suspense typical of horror stories.
Common tropes in Horror Westerns include haunted locations, cursed artifacts, and encounters with creatures like vampires or zombies. Notable examples of this genre include films like Bone Tomahawk and The Burrowers, which showcase the tension between human conflict and otherworldly threats in a rugged frontier setting.
