Production
The Rawhide Terror was the final screen collaboration between Victor Adamson and George Kesterson (under his stage name Art Mix), the latter of whom Adamson's company was named after.[2] Originally envisioned as a movie serial titled The Pueblo Terror,[3] it was later cut from its original 52 minute length and converted into a 46–47 minute feature film when funding for the film fell through.[4] In spite of this, the film has been incorrectly listed under its original 52 minute runtime.[5][6][7][8]
