Weird West (or Weird Western) is a genre of fiction that uses the Wild West period of American History as a foundation and then adds fantasy/supernatural elements to it. So stories where gunslingers encounter zombies, vampires, demons, robots, or any other creatures that wouldn't otherwise be present in a standard Western.

I mentioned in the pinned post on this community that once I start posting Weird West movies that take place in the modern day you'll know I'm starting to run out of ideas. Well, we've reached that point.

Ghost Town takes place in the modern day (of 1988, when the movie was made). It's about a girl who gets kidnapped by a bunch of zombies in an old west ghost town and only a modern-day sheriff can save her. I'll be honest with you, I've never seen this movie. I just came across it while looking for lists of Weird West movies and this looks right up my alley. I wish it was streaming somewhere.

Here's a trailer. And seriously, let me know if you find it streaming somewhere.
