Everyone knows that they've been making westerns in Arizona since time began, but we've been shooting other genre flicks here for a long time too and many of those seem to have been unjustly forgotten.

So here's my Dry Heat Obscurities project, in which I take a look back at genre features which were shot entirely or, at least, predominantly in Arizona.
I'm covering the films themselves, of course, and the people who made them (who are surprisingly often people that you've heard of), but I'm also taking a good look at the locations they used. Hopefully, when I hit a particular point in the project, I'll be able to travel around the state to get some photos of what they look like today, decades on.
I'm going to review a new dry heat obscurity every other week, starting in 2017, to alternate with my Weird Wednesdays project.
Note: my reviews of Violent Saturday and Kingdom of the Spiders predate this project, so I'll revisit them at some point.
