The Wild West is, if you think about it, a logical choice for the Speculative Fiction treatment. The frontier as a whole was traditionally viewed (and still is viewed, to some extent) as the meeting place of civilization and the unknown. The lawless setting also meant plenty of violent deaths and unfinished business, fuel for ghostly tales. Many smaller frontier settlements were gradually abandoned over time, becoming (literally haunted) Ghost Towns. Light Is Not Good is a common element in these tales; in a region where the dry season resembles the Thirsty Desert trope, it is shade that is sacred. Weird West works often invoke horror tropes. Ghosts, zombies, vampires, and werewolves are common elements. Indian Burial Grounds, Magical Native Americans, and various entities from Native American Mythology (such as skinwalkers and wendigosnote even though wendigos actually originated from the Great Lakes region) also tend to show up as sources of supernatural strangeness. Expect the Tall Tales to be just a little bit taller in these parts. Alternatively, this kind of story may lean more on science fiction tropes. After the Bone Wars linked the West to palaeontology in the public consciousness, having Living Dinosaurs or other prehistoric animals turn up in the region has been a popular option - the first known fictional instance of this is The Monster of Lake LaMetrie (1899), although long before that, Thomas Jefferson was speculating there might still be mastodons lurking somewhere in the interior note Supposedly, he even instructed Lewis and Clark to keep an eye open for them!. If the setting is more like a modernized New Old West, then expect to see more relatively recent cryptids such as chupacabras, or Urban Legends such as the Roswell UFO and aliens hidden at Area 51. The Weird West genre and settings tend to heavily overlap with Alternate History, Fantasy Americana, and Historical Fantasy (or Urban Fantasy if it's a Weird version of the New Old West). If the story is set in the backdrop of historical military conflicts (such as the American Indian Wars, Mexican-American War, American Civil War, or the Mexican Revolution), then it becomes a Weird Historical War. If it overlaps with Canadian Western, expect to see a Grim Up North where Evil Is Deathly Cold. Compare and contrast with Cattle Punk and Space Western, which take more of a sci-fi approach to the Old West; although there is some occasional overlap. There's also Sinister Southwest, when a Western United States setting is invoked for (less fantastic and more mundane) horrors. Also see Southern Gothic, Lovecraft Country, Campbell Country, and Ãœberwald for other types of spooky regional settings. |

Bonanza dabbled in the weird more than once. In one episode, Little Joe helped an isolated town defend against a gang that killed their sheriff, only to wake up in a ghost town that was destroyed by a gang years earlier. In another, a new priest arrives in town just before Easter. He resolves a bitter custody battle over orphaned twins by counseling their extended family. Moments after their reunion, a man walks in and introduces himself as the new priest. The first one, naturally, has disappeared... |

The Amalgam Universe one-shot Generation Hex was essentially this, combining the mutants of Generation X with the Old West setting of Jonah Hex. Prior to that, Joe R. Landsdale wrote three limited Jonah Hex series based around this trope. They would, amongst other things, involve voodoo and giant man-eating desert worms. |

Undead Nightmare, an expansion pack for Red Dead Redemption, focuses around the (normal) Western frontier getting overrun with a zombie invasion. Bigfoot, chupacabras, and the four horses of the apocalypse also appear. Though otherwise averted in the main game, the optional sidequest "I Know You" features a mysterious stranger who seems to know Marston even though he doesn't remember ever meeting him. The quest's climax heavily implies this man is some sort of supernatural being, as he's shown to be Immune to Bullets and your final confrontation with him takes place at the site of Marston's future grave. Players have interpreted him as God, Satan, or even Death, but his true identity is ultimately left ambiguous. |

Bravestarr crossed this with a Space Western. The hero was a Magical Native American with a Shaman as a mentor, and his steed was a cybernetic transforming horse with a bipedal form. The head of the outlaw gang was a thrall (possibly undead) of a cyborg dragon sorcerer. One of the outlaws was an ork in all but name, and add the halfling-like Prairie People for additional fantastic elements. | |

The Outpost looks like Heroic Fantasy at first, but once Talon reaches Gallwood Outpost (a fortified town guarding a mine on the edge of settled lands) it takes on a lot of classic Western character archetypes. To name a few, you've got The Bartender at the local tavern (two of them in fact, one a money-grubber, the other an artist of a brewer), The Sheriff in Gate Marshal Withers, the Cavalry Officer in the dashing Captain Garret, and The Drifter in the form of main protagonist Talon. | |

Spellslinger is an obscure 3rd party setting for Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition that takes place in a world where, after The Magic Goes Away and triggers an industrial revolution for a continent full of the "standard" D&D races, those same races discover an America-like continent and begin settling there. Notable features include elven gunslingers, dwarven prospectors, gnomish rail barons, and the Gray Runners; humanoid wolves who stand in for the Native Americans. | |

The Monster of Lake LaMetrie, a short story originally published in 1899, is a foundational example of the genre, and possibly the first example in fiction to propose that otherwise-extinct animals might turn up alive and well in the West - in this case, a live Elasmosaurus living in a remote Wyoming lake that may connect to the Hollow Earth. And then one of the human characters has his brain put inside the monster's body. | |

Pirate101 has a world known as Cool Ranch. The setting is western featuring piratesnote This actually makes sense when you stop and think about it. Most outlaws could be looked at as pirates with horse instead of ships and that they robbed trains, coaches, and banks instead of merchant vessels, They make up most of the Spiral's population, having humans populate it would make it seem even stranger, and Hoodoonote It umm... it comes with the pirate theme... okay, you can have that this one is weird even in context. | |

Grim Dawn: The setting is rather high fantasy but technologically equivalent to the late 1800s, meaning players and enemies alike can wield enchanted revolvers and lever-action rifles. Act 2 is set in a region of dry hills and canyons that has a very Southwestern feel and the main antagonists are Cronley's Gang, a group of bandits and desperados that experiment with magic-infused super soldiers and lair in abandoned mines that are occasionally haunted. The town of Homestead in Act 3 is populated by determined frontier farmers who are menaced by bug monsters rather than angry natives. | |

Westworld is an odd case. While it's clearly on the science fiction side of the Speculative Fiction spectrum, it also clearly isn't a Space Western or Cattle Punk. Rather, it's a collision of an A.I. Is a Crapshoot thriller and a classical Western, making it fit more comfortably here than in any of the other speculative Western genres. In-Universe, some of the park's storylines run into this category, such as the horror story involving cultists in the desert who became cannibals. | |

Fallout: New Vegas embraced this fully after having briefly played with it in Fallout and Fallout 2. Six-shooters, Winchester-looking carbines, and cow-boy hats are everywhere, while more modern guns are common too. The starting town looks like a typical Old West settlement and one of the first people you encounter here is a security robot with the face of a cowboy displayed on its screen. And things only get weirder from there. Comes almost with the territory of being a '50s-style pulp-fiction sci-fi game set in a post-apocalyptic Mojave desert. The Honest Hearts DLC, entirely set in Zion Canyon, is basically the story of a war between Native American tribes... where the Natives descend from survivors of a nuclear holocaust, wield firearms from the 1950s-1960s, and the local fauna are giant mutated variants of normal animals. And, if you so choose, you can use the "Wild Wasteland" trait, which introduces "the most bizarre and silly elements of post-apocalyptic America". | |

Wax and Wayne: Given Brandon Sanderson and his extensive use of Magic A Is Magic A, this series straddles the line between this and Cattle Punk. It's in a Wild West setting with use of magic, but said magic is highly tied into the development of new technologies such as Depleted Phlebotinum Shells. Weapons reach to the advancement of dynamite, revolvers and bolt-action rifles, and transportation technology has advanced to the point of making Traintop Battle scenarios feasible, but one such battle includes someone grabbing dynamite and blowing it up in his own hand. | |

Pathfinder gets in on this act by releasing several flavours of The Gunslinger as a playable class, and the Pale Stranger, a monster that's an undead cowboy. Within the game's default campaign setting of Golarion, the small nation of Alkenstar is a natural fit for this, despite being located in that world's equivalent to northeastern Africa. It's a technologically advanced nation and the only place where guns are reasonably common (though they're deliberately manufactured in small numbers to keep the value high, and to keep them from falling into the hands of other nations), located on the edges of the Mana Wastes, an Eldritch Location where magic acts very strangely, and roving bands of mutants are common. | |

It features a sorcerer class ("Beanslingers", who throw magic beans of various effects at enemies), demonic cows, a necromancy cult bringing back entire graveyards worth of skeletons back from the dead, and eldritch-abomination-haunted "El Vibrato" ruins driving miners crazy.

Dogs in the Vineyard may count, depending on how overtly the supernatural aspects are portrayed. It's set in a Fantasy Counterpart Culture to the Mormon territory of early Utah, with the PCs as "God's Watchdogs" who ride a circuit among various towns and villages, sometimes encountering 'demonic corruption' and seeking to root it out before it spreads. This can range anywhere from bad luck and evil behavior, to sorcerers throwing fireballs while the Dogs' faith turns their patchwork longcoats bulletproof in a pinch. | |

The supplement Down Darker Trails is meant to support CoC games and campaigns set in the 19th century West, which knowledgeable Cthulhu Mythos fans know is almost as filled with extradimensional horrors as New England. |

Dungeon Crawl Classics spin-off Weird Frontiers could be described as a more lovecraftian version of Deadlands. In 1865, a group of cultists attempt to free the slumbering Elder Gods, but the final ritual is stopped by a group of Texas Rangers. While the Elder Gods are still trapped, they were awakened and many lesser entities are able to enter the world through the weakened barriers and begin wreaking havoc across the frontier. The player characters are people who have been empowered by Earth's magical energy, giving them the means to fight back against Elder Gods' evil. As a minor tidbit of trivia, it began its life with the title "Dark Trails", but was forced to change titles when Chaosium got iffy about the chance of it being mixed up with their own book. | |

The Half-Made World takes place in a West that is an Eldritch Location. Still in the process of being created, the further west you go, the more unstable the laws of physics become. Supernatural creatures are fairly common; aside from the concept of the Magical Native American being merged with The Fair Folk, the entire West is a battleground between two factions of malevolent spirits: the Guns, which are sentient guns that empower their wielders with superhuman abilities as gunslinging outlaws, and the Engines, which are sentient trains that run on/command a Line that's an industrialized empire slowly spreading its oppressive authority across the West. | |

The Adventure Zone: Dust is set in the wild-west inspired Crescent Territory, home to all sorts of supernatural creatures, such as werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and demons. Downplayed but present in The Adventure Zone: Balance arc The Eleventh Hour. Set in the frontier mining town of Refuge, complete with saloons, sheriffs, and slide guitar soundtracks, the western setting revolves around a puzzling "Groundhog Day" Loop that begins hours before the town's cataclysmic destruction. And that's not even mentioning how it all ties into the very weird broader strokes of Balance's interdimensional cosmic horror saga. |

Figures into the backstory of The Goon, when the Zombie Priest turned a frontier town into zombies, leaving the sheriff - the only living human left - to kill them all. When the Priest tried to turn the sheriff into a zombie as well, the spell failed - you can't reanimate someone who isn't dead yet - turning the sheriff into a ghoul-like being who must feed on the flesh of the dead to survive. In the main story, the semi-undead sheriff - now calling himself The Buzzard, having long forgotten his real name, and driven entirely by his thirst for revenge on the Zombie Priest - shows up as a Creepy Good ally to the main characters. | |

The DCU's Weird Western Tales starring Jonah Hex. Despite the title, Jonah Hex is only borderline weird, at least in his original and current ongoing series. The two Joe R. Lansdale miniseries and movie have plenty of Weird West stuff, though. A later mini-series using the Weird Western Tales title was a anthology series of western themed horror stories. |

West of Dead, which follows a solemn undead gunslinger on a quest to liberate Purgatory from dark forces corrupting it. The afterlife is portrayed as an eclectic mixture of Judeo-Christian motifs, Native American mysticism, and old world pagan mythologies like those of ancient Scandinavia and Egypt, but its all filtered through a Spaghetti Western vibe. Interestingly, there's a bit of Genre Shift going on; the game starts out leaning harder into the "West" part, but emphasizes the "Weird" more and more as it goes on. | |

Blood Rayne II Deliverance was a movie about vampires set in the old west. Also contained the ridiculous line, "Get out of town before high midnight."note "High Moon" would have made a much better pun... or at least a smarmier one, if you believe there's no such thing as a good pun. | |

Ravenous (1999). Although it trades the prairies and deserts for the snowy mountains and woods of the Sierra Nevadas (giving it a bit of a Hillbilly Horrors flavour), it's very much a supernatural horror story set during the age of Manifest Destiny, dealing with frontier cannibalism and the wendigo legend. | |

Hunt: Showdown: Members of a Creature-Hunter Organization wage a secret war on monsters during the late 1800's using all kinds of weapons that, for all of their bizarre Steampunk looks, actually existed during that period. The game doesn't happen in the Wild West (most of the currently available arenas are set somewhere deep in Louisiana), but everything else fits. | |

The Aurora Encounter is a 1986 film that is loosely inspired by the 1897 UFO sighting in Aurora, Texas and borrows extensively from ET The Extraterrestrial for other details. It has an even more Bittersweet Ending than the other film with the peaceful alien being blown away by a U.S. Marshall and given a proper burial at the local Boot Hill. | |

The original script for Big Trouble in Little China set the supernatural shenanigans in 1890s San Francisco, just when Chinatown was beginning to develop, but it was eventually decided to give it a modern 1980s setting to be more relatable to the audience. Vestiges of the western setting can still be seen, such as Jack (now a trucker, instead of a cowboy, but still talking in a John Wayne impression) riding off into the sunset after the battle is won and walking around with saddle bags over his shoulder on a couple of scenes. | |

Deadlands is an unabashed example of this trope, to the point that it actively uses the term Weird West to describe its setting. After a vengeful Native American shaman opens the doors to "the Hunting Grounds" and unleashes powerful demons during the American Civil War, all sorts of supernatural weirdness is unleashed upon the world, from traditional beasts like zombies and vampires to malicious versions of Fearsome Critters of American Folklore to demonically-influenced Mad Scientists building weird devices powered by coal made from the souls of the damned. The setting was updated with "The Morgan Effect" in Deadlands: The Weird West where much of the settings' more controversial elements like a surviving Confederacy were Retgoned out of existence. It also resulted in the Reckoners' plans being severely affected. |

Happens in both the two main Italian western comic books, Tex Willer and Zagor (both published by Bonelli) Zagor regularly features vampires, werewolves, aliens, mad scientists and a number of other unusual creepy crawlies. Quite fittingly, it shares the same universe with other fantasy-based Bonelli series, such as Martin Mystere (better known internationally for its animated adaptation), Dylan Dog, and others, even if set much earlier in time. Tex Willer is usually more down to earth and tends to feature mostly typical stories, but from time to time has shown magic users (including the warlock Mefisto, Tex' most famous enemy, and Tex' ally El Morisco. Plus, the medicine man of the Navajo village where Tex lives has genuine magical abilities, just not in the same league as the above two), Lizard Folk, dinosaurs, aliens... And very convincing scammers, leading to Tex usually doubting of apparent magic until he can verify it with his own eyes. Also, it's shown that guns kill much faster and better than magic, with the only exception being the Tibetan monk Padma (who once asked the "Voice of My Land" for permission to deal with Mefisto by making him drop dead but was refused). |

Even if it doesn't want to admit it, Teen Wolf loves to subtly feature the weird west, especially in later seasons. Season 4 takes the pack to Mexico for the entire first episode, and the rest of the season features Mexican berserkers, who are controlled by the werejaguar of Brazilian mythology. The opening credits even feature a distinctly desert vibe. Season 5 finds Kira going to New Mexico with her mother, to enlist in the help of the Native American Skinwalkers to aid Kira in controlling her powers. Seasons 3, 4, and 5 all feature Malia's storyline where she looks for her parents. Her mother is an assassin who goes by the name of the Desert Wolf. The show's coyote mythology tends to heavily allude to the Weird West, even if it doesn't state it outright. Season 6 features the Ghost Riders of the Wild Hunt, who wears a cowboy hat, rides a Hellish Horse, cracks a whip, and steals people from memory. As one does. |

While the main storyline averts this entirely, the side content in Red Dead Redemption 2 features a lot more "abnormal" phenomenon, including sidequests concerning ghosts, aliens, robots, and giants, and characters that are heavily implied to be time travelers, vampires, zombies, and Bigfoot. There's also a fair bit of mundane, non-supernatural horror on the frontier, though that typically has more of a Hillbilly Horrors flavour. | |

It's all a self-respecting cowpoke or injun (whether tech- or magic-inclined) or Lyn-Srial Skyknight can do to take up arms and clear out all the scum — cyborg prospectors, dinosaurs, lowlife banditos, cactus men, red-skinned desert spirits... Speaking of, Mexico is pretty much completely overrun by vampires. The Canadian West is basically a northern extension of the American West but has its own problems such as the Xiticix hivelands, the Calgary Rift and Monster Kingdom, and of course, Wendigo. | |
