Premise
"The film follows a gang of cowboys and a mysterious woman who seek shelter in a seemingly uninhabited ghost town after a disastrous train robbery. Seeking help for their wounded leader they are surprised to stumble upon a welcoming brothel in the town's square but soon discover that the town is home to a coven of witches and blood-thirsty wolves."
Cast
Production
The Pale Door was directed by Aaron B. Koontz, who also co-wrote, and produced the film. It marks Koontz's second feature film effort, the first being the 2017 horror film Camera Obscura.[3] On May 2019, it was reported that production was underway in Oklahoma.[2] Koontz has stated "I love the idea of mixing these two disparate worlds of horror and western, and to do so with the help of Joe and Keith Lansdale, feels like the perfect devil's playground. It's 3:10 To Yuma meets The Descent, but doused, and then set on fire with psychological horror. Once this gets going, it's relentless."[2][4]
