Term applied to three hybrid genres of the Western
Weird Western is a subgenre that blends elements of the Western genre with those of fantasy, horror and science fiction. Set in the Weird West, these stories make use of frontier settings, strange encounters, and often incorporate elements of steampunk. The term originated with DC's Weird Western Tales in 1972, but the idea is older as the genres have been blended since the 1930s, possibly earlier, in B-movie Westerns, comic books, movie serials and pulp magazines.
