''Terror at Black Falls'' is a 1962 western written and directed by Richard C. Sarafian.
When local outcast Manuel Avila is lynched for stealing a calf, his father Juan (Peter Mamakos) swears revenge. Together with his other sons, Quito (Armand Alzamora) and Carlos (John A. Alonzo), he takes the local saloon hostage, vowing to kill one person every ten minutes until Sheriff Cal (House Peters Jr.) shows up. Cal refuses, believing that violence on his part will only make the situation worse, even though his son Johnny (Gary Gray) is one of the hostages.
----
!!''Terror at Black Falls'' contains examples of:
* CharacterNarrator: Sheriff Cal narrates throughout the movie.
* DeathByChildbirth: Manuel's mother died giving birth to him. Juan accepts this, saying it's God's way for parents to die and leave their children to take their place. He is enraged that Manuel died without children.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: As he's led up to be hanged, Manuel is surprisingly calm, refusing to cry or show fear. Once he actually starts hanging, though, he screams, "PAPA! PAPA!"
* VigilanteExecution: Sheriff Cal and the Avilas both rush to stop Manuel from being hanged, but they are too late. Enraged, Juan tries to shoot Cal, who shoots him in the hand. Juan's hand later has to be amputated, which gives him another reason to want revenge.
