>It tries to depict something Eastern European - or maybe rather Czech? - related, by means of remixing all of those American horror movies references
Since Caleb was an American gunslinger who was resurrected in the early 20th century, it's reasonable to assume that the game is set in America in that time period. It's not set in Europe.
>none of those were about anything Eastern European to begin with
Transylvania is a region of Romania, and European/Gothic architectural styles are a staple of classic horror.
>What type is Caleb even supposed to be? A cowboy or something?
Yes. It's explicitly stated that he was a gunslinger in the manual.
>Since when were cowboys pyromaniacs?
Caleb isn't a pyromaniac, he's a psychopath, and fire happens to do the job well.
>I mean, I personally just don't get, what it is even trying to express by all that, if anything.
It sounds like you're confused by anything that doesn't fit neatly into a mould. An insane cultist gunslinger is a unique character concept, but it's not extremely difficult to understand.
