The Town that Dreaded Sundown is a 1977, R-rated film directed by (and co-starring) Charles B. Pierce. It is based on the The Phantom Killer, who murdered five people in the 1940s, and was never caught. The film is presented similarly to Unsolved Mysteries, with a narrator dictating the actions as they are shown. Ben Johnson stars as the law-enforcement officer attempting to catch the killer. Dawn Wells (Mary Ann of Gilligan's Island) appears as one of the victims. Tagline: In 1946, this man killed 5 people, today he still lurks in the streets of Texarkana, Ark.
