Documentary filmmaker James Moll has acquired the rights to make a film based on the Calico Ghost Town area of Knott's Berry Farm theme park in California.

All rides and all on-site characters form part of the deal, and the theme park in the Mojave Desert seems to be the ideal setting to base the new spooky Wild West film on.

Moll said "It's the perfect setting for a big, spooky, family adventure with all the elements of a classic Western: cowboys, showgirls, gunfights, chases through creepy mines... all with a supernatural twist."
