This March, Spectacle is thrilled to present a duo of underseen Gothic-Western gems – a 1970 ghostly revenge thriller from Italy, and an American western anthology from 1990.

THE DARKEST WESTERN EVER MADE
An innocent man sentenced to ten years in prison for a crime he did not commit is released from jail, promising to seek revenge on the guilty.
AND GOD SAID TO CAIN starts off feeling like a standard western, but quickly morphs into something more sinister and ominous. Starring Klaus Kinski as Gary Hamilton, the wrongly imprisoned gunslinger seeking revenge, and directed by Italian genre mainstay Antonio Margheriti – who directed a whopping 53 films in total, including THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH and CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE – anyone looking for a moodier than average revenge western, look no further!
GRIM PRAIRIE TALES
dir. Wayne Coe, 1990
USA, 86 min.
In English.
SATURDAY MARCH 4TH, 10PM
FRIDAY MARCH 17TH, MIDNIGHT

HIT THE TRAIL …. TO TERROR
A cynical bounty hunter and a clerk traveling through the prairie rest by a campfire telling four stories of terror to each other.
A western-horror anthology film, featuring a wraparound story starring Brad Dourif and James Earl Jones, shot by Janucz Kaminski. Need we say more?
GRIM PRAIRIE TALES leans further into psychological horror, even drama, than one might expect from the synopsis – like a Twilight Zone-adjacent anthology from another dimension. Screening from the best looking available known copy (ripped directly from laserdisc!), Spectacle is proud to present this collection of spooky frontier tales.
