In a dusty, nondescript town, a Texas ranger named Earl McGraw ( authentically realized by the late chameleonic character actor Michael Parks) casually strolls into a dusty, middle-of-nowhere convenience store and begins a causal chat with the lone clerk Pete Bottoms (John Hawkes).

Right out of the gate, the movie feels like a 1970s exploitation flick, or an updated western. The late actor was a true chameleon, playing anything from a redneck lawman to an 80-something year old Mexican pimp (“Kill Bill Vol. Michael Parks as Texas Ranger Earl McGraw. collapsible screen, and turned off the lights.
To do this, I once again broke out my digital projector, unfurled my 7 ft. So, for this anniversary retrospective, I wanted to give the movie as close to a cinematic presentation as I could approximate at home. Even my wife ( who doesn’t do horror) appreciates it.

“From Dusk Till Dawn” soon became a go-to action horror favorite of mine, and while I haven’t closely followed the sequels or the Amazon TV series, the 1996 film has, over the years, became a Halloween staple. Seth Gecko (George Clooney) is one angry motor scooter… This wildly divergent film almost felt like a two-films-in-one, or a double-feature, something Rodriguez and Tarantino would later attempt with the cinematic release of “Grindhouse” in 2007 ( which featured both “Planet Terror” and “Death Proof” on a double-bill, along with trailers for “Machete” “Thanksgiving,” and other then-nonexistent exploitation flicks).

Renting the movie on laserdisc ( the clunky 12″ precursors to DVDs) is how I finally got to see “From Dusk Till Dawn.” The movie did a dramatic genre-reversal about halfway into its running time, switching from black humored, western/crime-drama to full horror at the flap of a bat wing. Contributing to its poor box office, I demurred and waited for its eventual home video release. However, none of my friends wanted to go–most of them weren’t into horror, as I was (and am). I was a bachelor in those days, and I sometimes went to movies by myself ( sometimes even catching midnight shows, if I couldn’t sleep), but based on my love of Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction,” I wanted to see this one with other people. I still vividly remember trying to get my friends to come with me to see the new vampire/crime-drama flick from director Robert Rodriguez ( “Desperado” “Spy Kids”) and writer/actor Quentin Tarantino ( “Pulp Fiction,” “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” ) back in February of 1996.
