Curse of the Undead
This was written by director Edward Dein along with his wife, Mildred Dein. It was claimed to have been written by the couple as a lark, with no expectation of it actually being acquired for production.,When the sherriff confronts Dolores when putting up the first poster, she says she will continue putting them up until Carter gets what's coming to him. Carter is her family name, she should have said Buffer.,Dr. John Carter: You know I can't figure it, I didn't think Dora would last the night.
Preacher Dan Young: I'd like to think my prayers helped some.
Dr. John Carter: Well I know for sure it wasn't my medicine, Fuller girl died an hour ago. I poured over every medical book I could get my hands on, I can't find a thing about an epidemic effecting only young girls. If I were supersticous I'd say it was more like a curse. Well, at the expense of my medical pride, I have to admit it was your medicine that did the trick, her pulse is normal, she's sleeping peacefully. I'm almost tempted to throw away my black bag and come over to your side.,Featured in Adventure Theater: Curse of the Undead (1977),I was just a kid when I saw this so, my memory could be shading my judgment. However, after viewing some of the "Highlander" TV series, this western is along the lines of a tale told in flashback about an immortal who lived through the time of the old west. In the case of this film, the immortal happens to be a vampire. What a great gig for a vampire--be THE best gunslinger in the west. Even if you are a slow draw, you can never lose.

I also was impressed with the use of a preacher as the protagonist. I remember a very positive portrayal. I haven't too much a memory about the acting, though. A good gage would be to conjure up memories of the lead actor when he played Gil Favor the trail boss on TV's "Rawhide.",
