Robert Englund Loves Surfing.
While on the Texas Frightmare Weekend red carpet, Robert Englund talks about surfing with Mallory Carrick and others.
The Many Faces of Robert Englund.
Here are a few more pics of Robert from that red carpet event.

“You want me to do what?”
Malcolm McDowell is not really big on photographer Vanessa Lua’s request to make a “scary” face on the red carpet at Texas Frightmare Weekend.

Pinhead and Freddy Kruger walk in to a bar…
Actually, they walked on the red carpet at Texas Frightmare Weekend.
I love this photo. Just two icons of horror shooting the sh*t. They were are both so cool. Doug Bradley was returning for his third (?) time to Texas Frightmare. With Clive Barker and Ashley Laurence also in attendance, it make for a Hellraiser fan’s perfect storm of awesomeness. Is that word?
Robert Englund was great during his Q&A. That man remembers everything. Also, he can tell a entertaining story too. I sure a lot of the guest at his table was surprised by the recall he had about the items they were asking him to sign. “Oh I remember when we… and then… Of course, Wes….” I saw him sometimes talk on for minutes several times over the weekend. Good thing they were handing out tickets for his booth. That helped limit the number of people he would see in a day and give him more time to socialize with each guest.

Dieter Laser is a hugger.
One of the most talked about films in horror recently is The Human Centipede (First Sequence). At this year’s Texas Frightmare Weekend, the director, Tom Six, and the star, Dieter Laser, not only attended, but did a live commentary to the film at a midnight screening. Personally, I didn’t have much interest in seeing the film, as I found even the trailer disturbing, but this did peak my interest. With Host, Mark Walters of BigFanBoy.com, the two gave a very entertaining commentary on the film. I do hope someone recorded it. To be honest, I didn’t make it through the entire film as exhaustion had started to catch up with me and I bailed at about 1:30am. I hope everyone else had as good time as Tom Six and Dieter Laser appeared to be having.
On closing day of the con, after most everyone had left, Tom Six and Dieter Laser continued to sign autographs for almost an hour. On his way out, Dieter Laser proceeded to give everyone hugs, including yours truly. Awesome.
Would you want a hug from this man?

The Woman
Tonight I got to experience Lucky McKee’s “The Woman.” If you haven’t heard about this film, that might be a good thing… cause, even though it’s really good, it’s gotten mixed press, mostly coming from an attendee at the premiere having a serious problem with the film. After seeing this video on YouTube, I was a little concerned, too. I didn’t need to be. It a good piece of modern feminist horror. Of course, that’s coming from a man.
One of the things that helped me get through this movie was the young Shyla Molhusen. She stole just about every scene she was in. One interesting fact, she was discovered at a previous Texas Frightmare Weekend.
