Dean Teaster's "Ghost Town The Movie" is a unique "Eastern" Western that combines actual family facts with fictionalized storytelling, paying tribute to his father and "Ghost Town In The Sky" theme park. The film features many original actors from the park, including Robert Bradley, Herbert Cowboy Coward, and Harry Valentine, and reprises the role of "Digger" made famous by Teaster's father. The movie aims to offset "Hillbilly" stereotypes by showcasing the rich traditions and grit of the Celtic settlers in the region, and explores themes of love, hate, family, forgiveness, redemption, and sacrifice.
