We’re getting close. Oh so close. Texas Frightmare Weekend, recently voted the best con in the US by fans, is very quickly finalizing its 2015 guest list. Let me tell you now, it’s a doozy.
On May 1, 2, and 3 at the Hyatt Regency DFW at the DFW Airport, mayhem will be unleashed upon the masses. As always, TFW has managed to land several rare, first-time guests for fans to meet.
The guests of honor this year are first-time con guests Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich, best known for the Scream series. Neve and Skeet will even be available for a joint photo op with a Scream theme as well as signing at their tables all three days, as is traditional at TFW.
2015 also sees the return of almost the entire Phantasm cast, including Angus, Reggie, Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornbury, Kat Lester, and of course series mastermind Don Coscarelli. Will they bring Ravager with them? Time will tell… you’d better show up just in case.
Another highlight this year is the presence of Brad Dourif and Alex Vincent, giving you the chance to get a Child’s Play-themed photo with both Chucky and his original prey.
Nightmare on Elm Street fans have a rare treat in store with a NOES 2 reunion, which is only lacking Freddy himself. Even without Englund, this is an extremely rare gathering of the cast of the most controversial Elm Street film.
The rest of the guest list is full of legends. Kim Coates, Malcolm McDowell, William Sadler, Elvira, Lisa and Louise Burns (the twins from The Shining!), Sherilyn Fenn, Udo Kier, C. Thomas Howell, Josh (The Collection) Stewart, Ed Neal, Julian Sands, and many more.
Of course, TFW always features a metric ton of horror films, many premiering at the con, as well as panels, two massive vending rooms, and more. Oh, and I’ll be there with some cohorts, live tweeting, giving away prizes, and generally getting up to mischief.
If you miss this show, you’re a fool. Get those plane tickets and hotel reservations now!
