In this podcast -- which only WISHES it were 51% motherfucker, 49% son of a bitch -- TFW honcho Loyd Cryer inventories the awesome Anchor Bay freebies waiting for fans at our Brutal Massacre screening and chats with Ellen Sandweiss (Evil Dead cellar dweller) about her role in the new horror comedy. (Tickets! Get your tickets!) Plus, TFW consort G. Noel Gross extols the gory goodness found in comics, prepares to geek out in San Diego and can't thank Loyd enough for recommending Nightmare in a Damaged Brain.

Folks are also posting lots of frightful photos in the forum.

TFW was honored to host an astounding array of fresh films from Texas Frightmakers -- The Flesh Keeper, Fingerprints, Red Victoria, Risen, Slaughter House, Soul's Midnight and The Wild Man of the Navidad. All were enthusiastically received, but only one fan-selected fright favorite may earn our very first "Texas Frightmare Weekend Audience Award."

Congratulations, Red Victoria!

The guys check in from the floor of Dallas Comic Con, which featured Saw siren Shawnee Smith and 30 Days of Night creator Steve Niles. Loyd reveals two new TFW guest additions from a certain Steven King classic -- available from our friends at Anchor Bay Entertainment! Noel shares much-too-much about his early-90s rental history. Plus, more movie recommendations and, yes, even a comic too.

In this Director's Cut episode, Loyd and Noel try not to completely spaz during a 45-minute confab with KNB FX legend Greg Nicotero! Thankfully, Greg was too busy geeking out himself over The Mist, which descends on theaters Nov. 21. (Snag advance screening passes at Wizard World Texas this weekend -- Booth #328!) Noel returned from opening night of the After Dark Horrorfest with an interview (to die for) featuring B-sensation Tiffany Shepis. Plus, drum roll please, Loyd announces the return of "Texas Frightmare Weekend presented by Anchor Bay Entertainment!"

After a FOUR MONTH (!?!) hiatus -- yeah, they missed you too -- the guys return to bask in TFW '07 afterglow and delve into the deets of February's even BIGGER show. Well, what they can say, anyway.

Loyd unveils an unveiling plan: midnight guest announcements every other weekend leading up to Oct. 31's major announcement. Swearing he never "fast-forwards to the good parts," Noel sheepishly quizzes Halloween's Kristina Klebe about what it was like getting throttled by Mikey Meyers in her birthday suit.

Plus, some sweet recommendations for your Netflix queue.

TFW minion Amanda (a.k.a. CinnamonGirl) got a few minutes on the line to quiz Rob Zombie about an upcoming flick some of y'all might of heard about. Rob reveals what it took to get inside Mike's noodle, why money can't buy you a good movie and the diminishing returns of CGI!

Stay tuned for the return of the Texas Frightmare Weekend podcast and more Halloween goodness. (Thanks, Amanda!)
