So stories where gunslingers encounter zombies, vampires, demons, robots, or any other creatures that wouldn't otherwise be present in a standard Western.

My now 75 year old dad and I watched it when it was first released. It's one of my favorite memories.

I was so bummed they didn't have a second season. I guess there was no real plot twist waiting after the way season 1 ended.
