I'm also a fan of del Toro's work, but I haven't seen this one. I recently watched Cronos (I think one of his first if not his first film) and found it quite interesting.

Going back to The Town That Dreaded Sundown, I just watched a documentary a couple days ago called Killer Legends that focused on trying to find true stories that started urban legends, and they spent a pretty good chunk of the film's running time on diving into this one. It's not a great film, but fairly interesting. I can't seem to get past how dumb the name Texarkana sounds for some reason. It sounds like something out of a goofy western for children.
