## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The small desert town in a smoldering July dusk, the air thick with the scent of creosote and distant thunder.

A young man fresh from a locked ward and his mechanic friend trace bullet holes through a funeral home’s stained glass.

Coscarelli’s 1988 follow-up turns the Tall Man’s return into a fevered chase through back-road Americana.

**Mood tags**: dread, surreal
