This is a three-sheet (41"x 81") poster for Tombstone Canyon (1932). This is a classic Western film starring the legendary "cowboy king" Ken Maynard. This "Poverty Row" production stands out for its blend of traditional Western tropes with elements of Gothic horror and mystery.

  • The Phantom: The antagonist, played by Sheldon Lewis, terrorizes the men of rancher Alf Sykes with blood-curdling, yodel-like screams.
  • Production Style: Directed by Alan James, the film is noted for its "weird" atmosphere and excellent cinematography by Ted McCord, who later shot East of Eden.
