The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014)

A drive-in theater in the city of Texarkana, Arkansas hosts the Halloween annual showing of The Town That Dreaded Sundown, the 1976 film based on the Phantom Killer responsible for several murders in Texarkana in 1946. After lovers Corey Holland and Jami Lerner leave the theater, the Phantom kills Corey and tells Jami "This is for Mary. Make them remember."

Two days before Thanksgiving, Kendra Collins-Thompson and her boyfriend Daniel Torrens are killed by the Phantom while having sex at a motel. The Phantom calls Jami with Corey's phone, urging her to "make them remember." Jami informs her police escort, Deputy Foster, and research the killings with the help of former classmate Nick Strain. Texas Ranger Lone Wolf Morales takes over the investigation.

Jami receives an email supposedly from the Phantom and takes it to the police. Nick asks Jami to a vigil for the Phantom victims. There, a teenager dressed up as the Phantom is killed, causing the townspeople to believe the murderer is dead. At a junkyard, band members Johnny and Roy hook up and are attacked by the Phantom, who fatally shoots Johnny and stabs Roy.

Morales and Deputy Tillman visit Reverend Cartwright. They discovered that he sent Jami the email, but do not believe he is the Phantom. Jami learns that Charles B. Pierce's son is still alive and lives in Texarkana. On Christmas Eve, Tillman and his date are killed by the Phantom. Jami and Nick visit Charles Pierce Jr. and learn about Hank McCreedy, a sixth victim of the original Phantom whose story was forgotten. Pierce believes the new Phantom is McCreedy's grandson, because the family was angered that McCreedy's death was not remembered. McCreedy had a wife named Mary.

Lillian, Jami's grandmother, finds out that Jami was accepted into a college in California and decides to move there so Jami can go to school. Jami tells Nick she is leaving and they have sex. Nick is later killed by the Phantom.

While leaving town, Jami pulls into a gas station. There, the Phantom starts firing from a window, killing Lillian and several others. Jami runs into the old Union train station and finds Nick's body. She is shot down by arrows and confronted by two Phantom Killers. One is Deputy Foster and the other is Corey, who faked his death. Foster is McCreedy's grandson. Corey explains he felt suffocated with his life path and wanted to be part of something great. He tries to convince Jami they are the same: that Texarkana trapped them in roles they hated. He brags about how everyone will know what he did, but is killed by Foster who plans to kill Jami and blame the killings on her and Corey. Jami finds the gun and shoots Foster but his body is never found.

Jami leaves Texarkana and moves on with her life. In the end, the Phantom's shadow is seen stalking her.
