Black Noon is an American made-for-TV horror western feature film that debuted in 1971. It was written and produced by Andrew J. Fenady and directed by Bernard L. Kowalski.
The film originally aired on November 5, 1971 as part of CBS's The CBS Friday Night Movies, and was shown repeatedly in 1982.
Jerry Beigel wrote in the Los Angeles Times about the premiere stating that the film's release would have been more fitting a week earlier, before Halloween.
When Reverend John Keyes (Roy Thinnes) and his wife Lorna (Lynn Loring) arrive in a western town, they find that there is mysterious force causing bad luck to plague the settlers. Once the Reverend is able to get the recalcitrant residents to speak about the ongoing troubles, he finds his spiritual leadership is being challenged by a cult of devil worshippers who practice voodoo, and have to get to the heart of a strange relationship between a mute young girl and a gunslinger who seem possessed by Satanic spirits.
It was noted in The Monster Book, that in Black Noon, Roy Thinnes' character battled devil worshippers, but that in a later film, Satan's School for Girls, he led his own cult.
