by W. C. Tuttle
In W. C. Tuttle’s comic Western tale, two reluctant drifters are lured back toward the notorious town of Piperock by a motion-picture man chasing the “real” Wild West. Disguises, frontier bravado, and a dangerous appetite for authenticity collide as the pair try to survive a town where every joke can turn into gunfire. Blending tall-tale humor with early cinema satire, “Creepin’ Tintypes” captures the rowdy absurdity of Western legend in full gallop.
