And, suddenly, the actress in the dark suit realized that the money spent on acting classes could have gone to better use.

Addison Timlin (“Californication”) is set to topline The Town That Dreaded Sundown, a Ryan Murphy and Jason Blum produced remake of the 1976 cult film based on the true story of the 1946 Moonlight Murders, a series of homicides committed by the Phantom Killer in the Texas/Arizona border town of Texarkana.

The Town That Dreaded Sundown follows a copycat killer mimicking the murders of the original film during its annual screening at Texarkana. According to Deadline, Timlin will star as Jami, a survivor whose own history holds clues to figuring out who’s behind the grisly murders.

Timlin is best known for toplessly playing actress Sasha Bingham on Showtime’s “Californication.” The 21-year-old stunner will next be seen as Stormy Llewellyn in director Stephen Sommers big screen adaptation of horror author Dean Koontz’s bestselling novel “Odd Thomas.”
