One Month Till Texas Frightmare Weekend 2017

It absolutely does not feel like a year has passed since the last time the madness struck.  When the moon rose and triggered the animal impulses in the pack.  A year since the mad roamed the halls while their keepers cowered in the cells.  Graveyards empty, streets full.

But it has.  Almost.  In just one short month, Texas Frightmare Weekend will be upon us once again.

As always, the Hyatt Regency DFW will host three days of complete mayhem from May 5-7.  Music, movies, madness.

While young star Millie Bobby Brown recently had to cancel due to exhaustion, the guest list is still absolutely insane this year.

Prepare yourself, this is gonna take a bit.

Dario Argento (!!!) along with stars of his classic, Suspiria, Stefana Casini, Barbara Magnolfi, and Udo Kier.  Claudio Simonetti of Goblin.  Freddie Highmore, Max Theriot, and Nestor Carbonell of “Bates Motel”.  The Thing reunion with Wilford Brimley, Keith David, Thomas Waites.  Legendary cinematographer Dean Cundey.  Virtually the entire cast of Rob Zombie’s 31: Malcom McDowell, Meg Foster, EG Daily, Judy Geeson, Richard Brake, Pancho Moler, Jeff Daniel Phillips, David Ury, and Torsten Voges.  Filmmaker Frank Henenlotter.  The Shining‘s Danny Lloyd. Austin Amelo and Tom Payne from “The Walking Dead”.  From The Woman, Polly McIntosh. Wrestling legends Ric Flair and Sting.  A Fright Night reunion with director Tom Holland and stars Chris Sarandon, Amanda Bearse, Stephen Geoffreys, William Ragsdale, and Jonathan Stark.  The one and only Ted Raimi.  Punk rock legend Doyle of The Misfits.

And those?  That’s not it.  That’s not even the whole list.  I’m just tired of writing names.  You’ll have to hit the official TFW website for the current list, and it’s STILL GROWING.

On top of all that?  You’ve got panels, 13 film screenings, incredible professional photo ops, the Texas Frightmakers filmmaking seminars, parties, Scaraoke, trivia contests, two massive rooms full of vendors, and a massive gathering of horror fans just like you from all over the planet.  (The record holder last year for ‘furthest traveled’ I ran into was NEW ZEALAND.  Yes.  I’m serious.)

What else is there to say?  Get to Dallas on Cinco De Mayo.  You won’t regret it.
