From Dusk Till Dawn
|
"From Dusk Till Dawn" by Frank Frazetta for the Quinton Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez movie of the same name.
The movie stars Quinton Tarantino, George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, Selma Hayek (I'll never forget the scene with Selma dancing with a snake), Danny Trejo, Cheech Marin, and Tom Savini (a zombie and special effects legend and actor).
Two brothers on the Run after robbing a bank and killing a bunch of cops. What's starstruck out as a cops and robbers and abduction movie turns into a vampire blood bath movie. The two brothers kidnap a family on the way to Mexico. They get to a dive bar across the border when all hell breaks loose.
During an altercation in the bar, the vampires reveal themselves. The two thieves, a family, are locked in the bar and try to survive.
The movie spawned two straight-to-video sequels and a TV series.
