Texas Frightmare Weekend is thrilled to announce a reunion that's ba-ba-ba-ba-bad to the bone for our fifth anniversary horror convention and film festival April 30-May 2 in Dallas! Director John Carpenter will be joined by all three players in Stephen King's high-octane love triangle -- stars Keith Gordon and Alexandra Paul as well as the four-wheel'd fury herself, Christine.

This is no mere restoration of any old 1958 Plymouth Fury, rather this "Christine," whose owner is shipping her all the way from Florida, is a screen-used original and one of only two known to remain of more than 20 used throughout the filming of the 1983 classic.

Merry Christmas, y'all! The lastest gift on our guest list is Hatchet writer/director Adam Green. He'll be promoting the release of Frozen from Texas Frightmare Weekend presenting sponsor Anchor Bay Entertainment. Adam will also be on hand for the latest on Hatchet 2!

We have so much more in store for our 5th anniversary celebration April 30-May 2, 2010 in Dallas. Stay tuned!

Texas Frightmare Weekend proudly welcomes Rodrigo Gudiño to our guest list April 30-May 2, 2010 in Dallas. Rodrigo is founder and president of the Rue Morgue horror empire, which extends beyond its monthly magazine to its own film label, popular radio show, yearly "Festival of Fear" convention and monthly movie screenings. Additionally, Rue Morgue is co-presenting Texas Frightmare Weekend in association with Anchor Bay Entertainment.

Rodrigo is writer/director of Curious Stories, Crooked Symbols -- featuring his award-winning shorts The Eyes of Edward James, The Demonology of Desire and The Facts In the Case of Mister Hollow. We'll screen said shorts during the convention and Rodrigo will also be on hand to share the latest on his remake of the 1972 horror western Cut Throats Nine.

Since our inception, Texas Frightmare Weekend has enthusiastically supported "Texas Frightmakers" by showcasing their work before rabid horror fans and providing a central venue for networking, promotion and the exchange of ideas.

In keeping with this tradition, Texas Frightmare Weekend is pleased to announce the participation of the Texas Motion Picture Alliance at our 5th annual horror convention and film festival April 30-May 2, 2010 in Dallas. TXMPA will present an on-site seminar which current and aspiring filmmakers of all genres won't want to miss. Stay tuned for details.
