10 Horror Movies You Didn’t Know Were Connected

10. Planet Terror & From Dusk Till Dawn

If you're ever in the mood for one hell of a double-bill, I can't recommend Planet Terror and From Dusk Till Dawn enough. Both of them are campy, gore-filled, action-heavy extravaganzas, that are full of quippy dialogue and fantastic characters.

They also just so happen to exist within the same universe.

Aside from the fact that both films are helmed by the always over-the-top Robert Rodriguez, it is the appearance of Earl McGraw, that ties these two B-Movie spectaculars together. Earl is a Texas Sheriff who constantly becomes embroiled in strange goings-on. McGraw first appears in From Dusk Till Dawn, running afoul of the Gecko Brothers who swiftly fill him full of lead.

Somehow McGraw survives this and pops up again in Planet Terror, only here do we see a much softer side to his character, as he cares for his terminally ill wife. Although things quickly turn sour when his beloved wife turns into a zombie, and he has to plant an axe in her skull.

Earl also makes a small appearance in Kill Bill Vol.1, arriving at the scene of the wedding rehearsal massacre only to get a face-full of gob courtesy of a comatose Uma Thurman.

Lovely stuff.
