Dead Man's Gun is a western anthology series that ran on Showtime from 1997 to 1999. The series followed the travels of a gun as it passed to a new character in each episode, and the gun would change the life of whoever possessed it. The executive producer was Henry Winkler and each episode was narrated by Kris Kristofferson. Set in the Old West, this anthology follows the eponymous artifact, a handsome, yet cursed, gun that brings either disaster or fortune to whoever possesses it. In some cases of the former consequence, the gun's more villainous owners are killed at the end of the episode, while in others they live, but suffer for their misdeeds. In a similar fashion to The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, there are often twist endings to the stories. For example, in the episode, "The Collector", the main character discovers that his servant is actually the infamous criminal, El Lobo, who then scalps him. And the series finale, "A Just Reward," provides a twist ending to the series as a whole when it is ultimately revealed that the gun's original owner was the Grim Reaper.
