A small sub-genre of the western is the "horror western."
They're usually "old, dark house"-type mysteries with faux supernatural elements.
The young John Wayne made a single foray into this territory with 1932's HAUNTED GOLD.
His romantic interest is played by Sheila Terry.
The most badly-dated element is the stereotypical black character "Clarence", played by Blue Washington.
Standard horror film tropes include an old dark house with secret passageways...
...a graveyard...
...and a mysterious phantom.
But despite the spooky trappings, things are wrapped up in usual B-western style.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!
