Thanks for that bit of trivia. Regardless of how the term has evolved/been accepted in modern usage, it is obvious watching 'Terror at 2:00' that Landon is influenced by the Italian filmmakers working in the western genre. There are too many stylistic similarities to ignore. I would even say that 'Kingdom of Fear' has a few Leone-inspired touches.
