From the producer behind Insidious, Sinister and Whiplash and the creator of American Horror Story, comes this shrewd remake of the original 1970s horror, inspired by the unsolved murder spree that took place in the American border town of Texarkana in 1946. 'The Town That Dreaded Sundown' picks up 65 years after a masked serial killer terrorised the small town, when the brutal "Moonlight Murders" suddenly begin again.

Is it a copycat crime or is it something even more sinister? - Director:
- Alfonso Gomez-Rejon
