I know what you’re thinking, “Big deal, there are people around the pool,” but Saturday night around the pool was deceptively calm.
TFW 2011: Day 2, The Midday Edition
If someone asked me to sum up the Saturday experience at TFW, I could do it in two words: absolute insanity. Truckers back in the day may have described the scene as “wall to wall and treetop tall” and they would have been right. Horror fans packed into the Sheraton Grand to see their favorites:
TFW 2011 Day 1 After Action Report
Time flies when you’re having fun. Day one here at TFW was supposed to officially start at 4PM. At least that’s what I thought at first. Instead, things kicked for me right around ten-thirty when networking started with local bloggers and assorted horror types. It rapidly spun into a whirlwind of activity culminating in the
TFW 2011 REVIEW: ‘The Woman’
In the beginning, as some people like to say, god created… well pretty much everything. But, it was kinda like throwing a party and nobody showing up, so god created guests: it solved the immediate problem and saved him on the cost of invitations. It wasn’t too long, though, before there was drama. God created
TWF 2011: Day 0
Checked into the Sheraton Grand this afternoon. TWF attendees were trickling in as those attending a business conference were checking out.

TFW 2011: Interview with Robert Englund
In addition to being a genre legend, Texas Frightmare Weekend guest Robert Englund is a man of irrepressible energy and took time out from his schedule to sit down with us to talk about coming back to Dallas, rednecks and just what exactly he tweets about.

Countdown to Texas Frightmare Weekend 2011
There are three words that get a horror fan’s blood pumping even more than “Platinum Dunes Remake” and in a positive way: Texas Frightmare Weekend. The southwest’s premiere horror event starts this Friday, April 29th at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Irving, TX. In the days leading up to TFW, we’ll highlight the events, guests
REVIEW: ‘Scream 4′
To paraphrase something a wise woman once said, assumption is a crap-filled Twinkie: it looks great until you take a bite out of it. An assumption is a little bit of mental laziness that circumvents the heavy lifting of critical thinking and just going with whatever’s easiest. Of course, this brings us to Wes Craven’s
REVIEW:’The Ward’
In a perfect world, there is no crime, no disease. In a perfect world, we are at peace at the personal level, the global level and every level in between. In a perfect world, no good deed goes unrewarded, nice guys finish first and true love conquers all. In a perfect world, John Carpenter never
