Synopsis – What to Expect from “The Town That Dreaded Sundown”
The Town That Dreaded Sundown is a 1976 American horror film directed by Charles B. Pierce. The film is based on the real-life unsolved Texarkana Moonlight Murders that occurred in 1946 and follows a small town in Texas as it is terrorized by a hooded serial killer.
The film begins in Texarkana, Texas in the spring of 1946. The town is thrown into a panic when a hooded serial killer begins to terrorize its citizens, murdering five people and seriously injuring three others over the course of a few months. As the killings continue, the townspeople become increasingly paranoid and fearful, with many refusing to leave their homes after dark.
The police are stumped as to the identity of the killer, and as the townspeople become more desperate, they begin to form vigilante groups to hunt down the killer. Meanwhile, a young couple, J.D. and Pam (Ben Johnson and Dawn Wells), become the latest victims of the killer. J.D. survives the attack, but Pam is killed.
J.D. is determined to find and bring the killer to justice, and with the help of a local reporter, the police are able to track down a suspect. However, it turns out to be a false lead and the killer remains at large. With the town on the brink of hysteria, J.D. and the police finally manage to track down the killer, who is revealed to be a local
