From Dusk Till Dawn, El Rey Original Series FROM DUSK TILL DAWN centers on the Gecko Brothers, a desperate pair who are running from the authorities after they killed several people during a bank heist. But, while trying to make their escape to Mexico, chaos reigns, not only because they take hostages, but because they head to a strip club—one populated by vampires. If that doesn’t sound like a Halloween winner, what does?
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN was created and is directed by Robert Rodriguez, founder and chairman of El Rey Network, described as “the new genre-busting English-language cable network.” Season Two is planned for 2015, but fans and newcomers alike can watch the Season One marathon on Halloween:

“From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” is centered around bank robber Seth Gecko (D.J. Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard “Richie” Gecko (Zane Holtz), who are wanted by the FBI and Texas Rangers Earl McGraw (Don Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Jesse Garcia) after a bank heist leaves several people dead. While on the run to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter former pastor Jacob Fuller (Robert Patrick) and his family, whom they take hostage. Using the family RV to cross the border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is populated by vampires. They are forced to fight until dawn in order to get out alive. The series deepens the tone and expands the storyline of the film, adds new characters and backstories and explores the Mesoamerican mythology behind the creatures inside the club.
