Weird West (or Weird Western) is a genre of fiction that uses the Wild West period of American History as a foundation and then adds fantasy/supernatural elements to it. So stories where gunslingers encounter zombies, vampires, demons, robots, or any other creatures that wouldn't otherwise be present in a standard Western.

Science fantasy is also a genre. I would usually say it's acience fiction though. Star Wars is more form than function that most steampunk, but people (usually) don't debate that. It's just soft sci-fi.
