I Want To Wake Up Now: Texas Frightmare Weekend

Tomorrow, take a trip up I-35 and get your pants scared off at the Texas Frightmare Weekend, a giant horrorfest being held in Dallas at the Omni Dallas Park West Hotel.

George A. Romero will be there, which is, for us, reason enough to brave the hordes of horrorfans (why can't we stop thinking of Comic Book Guy?). But that's not all: you could meet Clint Howard (Ron Howard's weird-ass brother/star of Ice Cream Man); Lloyd Kaufman (director of the Toxic Avenger series); George Kosana (the sheriff on the TV in Night of the Living Dead); and Cerina Vincent (the one who shaves half her leg off in Cabin Fever). And a ton of other horror-people.

Oh, and if you can fit some movies in between all of that meeting and greeting, there are a few (a double feature of Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon and The Black Cat tomorrow night; Domain of the Damned, a slate of short films, and Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things on Saturday; Texas Road Kill and the unrated Hills Have Eyes 2 on Sunday).
