Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
If you love things that scare you and have a great deal of bladder control, where do you go to get the biggest dose of adrenaline you can short of running across a busy highway or hiring a friend to kidnap you? You could eliminate the risk of committing a felony by going to the Texas Frightmare Weekend which kicks off at 6 p.m. Friday. Frightmare has become one of the most notorious horror conventions across the country. Every year, the horror fans descend on Dallas like a pack of ravenous zombies for three days of unapologetic gore, tense moments and jump scares as they explore their favorite genre in all of its horrifying glory. This year’s gathering of horror heads will be treated to movie premieres, all night parties and appearances by “Scream” stars Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich and a reunion of the principal cast of Don Coscarelli’s “Phanstam.” Single day passes are $30 each and weekend passes are $75 each or $249.95 for a 4-pack at texasfrightmareweekend.com until Monday. Tickets can be purchased for a higher price at the Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport Hotel located at 233 International Pkwy. during the convention.

Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
