What is the connection between pale rider and high plains drifter?

In high plains drifter Clint plays an ex law man in who returns to the town which failed to help him when he was attacked by the same criminals who again are terrorising them. He seeks his revenge on the outlaws and the the town at the same time by playing on their cowardice and making ludicrous demands for his help in dealing with the criminals.
Later in the film it develops/ strongly suggests that he is dead, especially when in the closing shot he disappears on the horizon. Leading you to believe he is a vengeful ghost after those who wronged him.
Pale rider sees a similarly themed character in that he appears from nowhere to help a group of honest prospectors from the terrorising of a rich industrialist.
The character, under the guise of a nameless preacher, rides a white horse like the biblical apocalyptic death bringer, habitually vanishes in a blink of an eye and reappears and displays great physical strength beyond human capability to display the power of faith when confronted by an unbeatable giant of a henchman.
The biggest clue is the fact that a corrupt sheriff and his deputies, (hired by the industrialist to deal with Clint after all other attempts have failed), claim to have experienced a similar character before when his description is given. But they dismiss the preacher as the same as they killed him. This with the bullet scaring on the preachers back and the angry recognition by the Marshall when he finally gets to see the preachers face as he is killed denote that the character preacher is supernatural. Again as with high plains drifter he simply disappears at the end.
All of this is compounded by interview evidence given by Clint eastwood.

∙ 14y agoI think it is a given. I think it even goes beyond that. When the marshal in Pale Rider says "You" and looks terrified by the fact he is still alive and is riddled with bullet scars. That gave me chills!
Also in almost all of the movies including Unforgiven he rides a white horse. I think Pale Rider is.
I think one more would be awesome!
