From the 1935 novel The Circus of Dr. Lao to Jonah Hex comic books or movies such as Ghost Town (1988) and Bone Tomahawk (2015), Weird Westerns have been popular among fantasy and horror consumers for years and offer a unique take on the traditional Western genre that permeates popular culture. Unsurprisingly, they are defined by their Western setting but with a horror, fantasy, or sometimes steampunk element.
