October Coast just sent us some STUNNING new poster art for an upcoming horror-western.  Spirit Reckoning, by writer-director Jimmy Lee Combs and Heart and Fire Productions, has unveiled the first poster, teasing the tone of the upcoming film.

Spirit Reckoning, which is due to lens later this year, takes place in circa 1875, and tells the story of Sam Conley, a farmer with a wicked gambling addiction trying to make ends meet for his family. Upon returning home, Sam is killed by some petty outlaws alongside his wife and child. To return the favor on a good deed Sam did for the Indian people, a Shaman brings Sam’s spirit back from the dead as an avenging skull cowboy.

However, this comes with its set of side effects as Sam’s emotions intensify making him feel rage more extreme and sadness more deep than the normal person, which brings humility to Sam much like Frankenstein’s Monster. Spirit Reckoning promises to be a wild ride, that will combine the elements of horror with the setting of a Western, seeing the protagonist go on a high-octane, bullet-trenched, blood-soaked revenge spree.

Oh and hey, look at this cool poster art!
