To be honest, "Ghost Town" didn't look very interesting from the start. Then again, how often do you get the chance of seeing a mid-60s horror/western hybrid from Mexico? Not often, indeed, but perhaps for a good reason. These two genres already don't mix very well as it is, and "Ghost Town" seemingly tries hard to be extra dull, extra pointless, and extra redundant.
The story revolves around a vampire named Rio Kid (although, in the version I watched, his name was translated as River Kid) roaming around in an old town in the West. Actually, we only know Rio Kid is a vampire because the synopsis on the DVD-cover immediately reveals so, but for more than an hour of running time he doesn't do any vampire stuff. Rio Kid is a gunslinger who gets his kicks from shooting other gunslingers daring to claim they are the fastest drawers in the west. He only shows his fangs for the first time deep into the film, you will be impressed for sure! This guy has the longest and most uncomfortable looking fangs ever! They look more like the tusks of a walrus, in fact.
Sound funny, perhaps, but "Ghost Town" is a lousy film without any redeeming elements. The vampire is an uninteresting character, but the others hunting him down are not even worth mentioning at all. Apart from a bad western and a horrible horror film, it's also an annoying musical with at least five poor songs sung end-to-end. My advise would be to skip it altogether, but - again - the fangs need to be seen to be believed.
