You are welcome. I don't know if you will like it as much as I did, but "Purgatory" takes place in an eerie Western town in 1886, and it has a supernatural element. Also I remembered a scary episode of Cimarron Strip with Jack the Ripper. As I recall it was written by Robert Bloch who wrote a similar episode of Star Trek. And there was a spooky episode of Rawhide that stands out in my memory called "Incident of the Murder Steer." EDIT -- Good thing you didn't ask for Westerns with dinosaurs because I can only think of two of them; "The Valley of the Gwangi" and "The Beast of Hollow Mountain."

I was just about to suggest it. There was an episode of "Bonanza" that was similar to it with a little bit of "The Magnificent Seven" thrown in: "Twilight Town" has Little Joe getting robbed out in the desert and wandering into a ghost town before passing out. When he comes to, there are suddenly townspeople and they want Joe's help to them fight off a gang of bandits that keep pillaging their town. Takes a bizarre turn at the end. There's also "Oblivion" (1994, not to be confused with the Tom Cruise movie of the same title), but that one is probably more sci-fi than horror.

I must have missed that episode of Bonanza. And I seem to have forgotten a few episodes of the original Twilight Zone, most notably "The Grave."

Westworld (1973) is western/sci-fi, but Yul Brynner's character definitely brings an element of horror to the movie.

Funny story about "The Waiting Room": I was around 12 when I first saw it. When each cowboy is telling their stories and we learn that Joe Bristol (Albert Salmi) was killed by a faster gunfighter. Then he's being called outside, Dicther (Steve Forrest) asks who it is and Bristol replies "It's a fast kid." However, with Salmi's drawl, the word "fast" sound like it had two syllables and sounded like he said "fat ass kid"! Back then, there was about one place to hear cursing on network TV and that was on PBS, so I was practically in shock when I thought I heard "fat ass". Especially since the other gunfighter wasn't fat. It wasn't until around ten years later that I learned Bristol said "fast kid".

Western and horror are two of my fav genre but it is not very often that I see them both in a movie. The best example among those I have seen is Django il bastardo (1969) directed by Sergio Garrone. I will say that High Plains Drifter (1973) has some sort of horror element though it not as pervasive as in Django the Bastard. I have read a bit about weird west, a western subgenre which combines horror/occult with western but unfortunately I haven't seen many movies of this subgenre. I think the fact that west was considered wild and lawless and lonely makes it all the more appropriate to combine with horror/occult. What are your thoughts on mixing of western/horror in a movie? I agree western / horror films are quite a fun & unique mix and do seem to be a bit of a rare combo too . Although I haven't seen this particular film in ages ( and it is a comedy horror too ) . However I do remember it had a bit of a western theme to it also . It was also a sequel to the film - House 1986 House II: The Second Story 1987 Thanks so much Aj_June for your subject post .

Cut-Throats Nine, a Spanish western from 1972 has some horror elements. Lotsa gory stuff in that one.

A Knife for the Ladies (1974) is a Jack the Ripper goes west slasher.

While not as much so as some of the others mentioned here, you might wish to check out sometime Aj_June, a somewhat obscure (yet underrated) 1993 western by the name The Last Outlaw. It has a semi-voodoo sub-theme sort of thing going on.
Post-Antebellum Confederate officer Graff (Mickey Rourke) is betrayed by his gang, and sets off after them with a vengeance and a new gang in tow. It starts to get a little spooky as Graff often appears out of no where, takes out one of his former gang members, and no sooner disappears following the event. Quite a good western in its own right, with the moral of the story being not to piss off Mickey Rourke when he has access to a Sharps rifle.

"Undead or Alive" (2007)-Chris Kattan and James Denton being chased through the desert as they try to break a zombie curse on their Old West town. Think "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid" crossed with "The Evil Dead".

Slightly off topic, Richard Laymon wrote a horror novel called Savage, which involved Jack The Ripper. But it also had elements of a western adventure.

Just remembered another "Night Gallery" episode: "Dr. Stringfellow's Rejuvenator". Forrest Tucker plays a snake oil salesman in a western town who is approached by a man with a sick daughter. Stringfellow guarantees that not only will his "rejuvenator" cure the girl, but will bring her back if she should die. Pretty creepy ending.
