A remake of The Town That Dreaded Sundown is premiering at Fantastic Fest this year, and earlier today we got our first look at what may turn out to be a really entertaining reboot.

Starring Addison Timlin, Gary Cole, Joshua Leonard and more, the new version of The Town That Dreaded Sundown will kick off sixty-five years after the events of the first movie, with another moonlight killer behind a series of grisly slayings. It’s unclear whether or not this update will be told using the same documentary style approach as the original, but after seeing the first trailer we can confirm that it will look pretty damn beautiful. Cinematography is often an after thought in horror, but it’s clear Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (American Horror Story) is attempting to deliver something special with this release. You can view the trailer below:

As we mentioned above, The Town That Dreaded Sundown will have its world premiere at Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX later this month. The film will be released on VOD October 16.
