"Texarkana looked normal during the daylight hours. But everyone dreaded sundown..."

Hello and welcome to episode 86 of Once Upon a Nightmare. In this episode I discuss The Town That Dreaded Sundown( Charles B. Pierce, 1976)

The Town That Dreaded Sundown is loosely based on real life. In 1946 one man would terrorize the residents of Texarkana, Arkansas. This killer was never found, but would be known as The Phantom Killer and responsible for what would be known as The Texarkana Moonlight Murders.
