    Saw a film the other night called " GRIM PRARIE TALES "
    It was about a writer who is travelling back home to see his wife
    and comes across a bounty hunter who is played by James Earl Jones
    this bounty hunter is indian and through the course of that evening
    he sucsesfully scares the living s**t out of the writer by telling
    him some indian stories .
    I missed about the first 40min of this film but from where I saw it
    was a story about an old drunk cowboy who stumbles into an old
    indian grave site and that he sees an indian on his death bed which
    in turn decides to chew off the drunks ear , later the drunk is asleep
    and then some other indians come and start to build like a cage around
    him and then covered it with feathers and then tar then mud and sand ,
    basicelly burying him alive and frome the out side it just looked like
    a big moundof dirt were kids were playing on it as the old guy was
    screaming .
    then they were some other ones which were alright a few gorrie bits but
    the best and errie on was about :-
    
    A man was heading east to see his family , when he comes upon a woman
    wandering ahead of him she looks like she is pregenat , he askes her
    if she wants to stay with him at his camp and she accepts , anyway
    they start to talk and it looks nice and cozzy , they finaly go to 
    sleep , about half hour later she is making some funny noises and the
    gut turns around and finds that she isnt pregnent any more to which she
    gives an explanation to the fact that men wont harm her if she was prg.
    so he leaves it at that , then she goes over to him and starts to undo
    his trousers any way they start to make love and she keeps saying no
    but is insisting on it , then you see her face all wide and bright and
    then the guy looks up and screams with what you might think of pleasure
    but in actulle fact he gets sucked into her , well you know ! and the
    last thing you see is his hand dissipearing into the dark unknown ,
    then the next morning the girl picks up her thimgs and leaves and is
    also pregenent again .
    I know this sounds corny , but you had to see it to belive it , it was
    quite good .

    Re the movie: I was thinking I'd seen this, but the description didn't
    quite mesh. Now I think there's another, similar film out there, a sort
    of "horror in the Old West" thing - ring any bells? This one also had a
    bounty hunter, and an episode with a strange woman seeking shelter in
    an isolated cabin, etc., but the plot twists were different...
