Danny Trejo, Anthony Michael Hall, Dina Meyer and Mickey Rourke star in Dead In Tombstone, which has just recently been released on Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack from Universal Studios Home Entertainment just in time for the theatrical release of Robert Rodriguez' Machete Kills. Trejo plays a ruthless outlaw who returns from beyond the grave to avenge his own murder in a Gold Rush boomtown filled with unsavory characters and unlikely heroes. The Devil (Rourke) offers Gang Leader Guerrero Hernandez (Trejo) the opportunity to escape eternal damnation in return for the six souls of those who betrayed him since presumably they are worse than Guerrero. Given only a certain amount of time to avenge his own murder, Guerrero becomes a force to reckon with souls on the line. Dead In Tombstone is a supernatural archetypal western filled with a mix of violence and otherworldly imagery.
