Curse of the Undead
Director: Edward Dein
Actors: Eric Fleming, Michael Pate, Kathleen Crowley
PlotIn a small Western town, a series of mysterious deaths plagues the community. Residents begin to suspect a connection to the local girl, Dolores Carter, whose father and brother have recently died under strange circumstances. Dolores and her fiancé, Dr. John Carter, investigate the deaths and discover that they may be dealing with something far more sinister than disease or bandits. Rumors circulate about a dark figure roving the town, a gunslinger named Drake Robey, who has a penchant for showing up right before someone dies. As suspicion grows, the town's preacher, Dan Young, senses an unnatural evil at work.
The atmosphere grows tense as Robey continues his ominous presence. Dolores and Dr. John confront him but realize that ordinary means may not be enough to stop whatever eerie force is behind the killings. Unbeknownst to them, Robey hides a dark secret tied to ancient, supernatural lore. As they delve deeper into the mystery, the chilling scope of what they are up against becomes clear—leading to a dramatic showdown where courage, faith, and love are put to the ultimate test. The fate of the town hangs in the balance as they face an adversary unlike anything they’ve ever known.
