The original From Dusk Till Dawn film, is still one of my favorite vampire movies of all time. You don’t know where things are going to go when the movie starts out, but where they end up makes it so bloody awesome that it will forever remain a cult classic.

Writer/Director Robert Rodriguez has always had bigger plans for the Gecko Brothers and The Fullers, and he’s getting his chance to expand on the mythology he created in the film when the From Dusk Till Dawn television series premieres on his El Rey Network.

Today, we get our first look at Madison Davenport (The Possession), who will be taking over the role of Juliette Lewis’s character from the film. Take a look below!
