When buddies and collaborators Seth Romatelli and Jonathan Larroquette talk shop in their podcast Uhh, Yeah Dude, there’s no pop culture faction left unrepresented. They dig through the fat folds of the Internet — lifting up its smelliest skin flaps — then peer in that mess to see what’s growing…

After his success with House on Haunted Hill, film studios were inclined to let director William Castle mess around a bit with his horror films. He did that in 1959 with his gimmicky camp classic, The Tingler, which Texas Theatre (231 W. Jefferson Blvd.) resurrects Thursday, along with its spine-teasing…

Medieval Times (2021 N. Stemmons Freeway) doth dare you to adorn yourself in your most triumphant garb and take part in an evening of horse-based revelry. Arrive in a properly foolish outfit and receive “an upgrade to royalty,” which we assume means first dibs at the community bathtub. Tickets are…

We’re modern home voyeurs. Floor-to-ceiling window gazers. Xeriscape fanatics. We trail in Le Corbusier’s wake, intrigued by architecture designed to serve its interior. That’s why we grow impatient each Fall, waiting for the AIA Dallas Tour of Homes to illuminate the city’s most captivating residences. This is the seventh annual…

I bet it smells so good in there. The AIA Dallas Tour of Homes is gorgeous. Organized by local architects to celebrate great design, the hunt invites you through the interiors of ten stunning residences. Once there you’ll marvel and say, “Where do they put all of their stuff?” It…

If you live in Seattle, San Francisco or New York today, you’re the luckiest mother fucker on the planet. In those markets Uber has paired up with meme blog Cheezeburger to deliver adorable kittens to anyone wanting 15 minutes of playtime — today only — from 11 a.m. to 4…

You’ve suffered through the tough part: hot gluing sequins, cardboard and feathers into a perfect — or at least somewhat wearable — costume. It’s time to take that thing for a ride. We do Halloween well in Dallas, so plan on calling in sick this Friday and spend Thursday night…

Before the sky cracked open and flooded the streets, Saturday’s block party was in full Halloween tilt. We sent Ed Steele to capture the night’s best in photos. Not only did he get there before the storm, he brought back a whole slideshow’s worth of inventive, elaborate and flat-out ridiculous…

Had I known that “cat writer” was a legit title I wouldn’t be here, chained to this newsroom desk. I’d be out in the wild grabbing life by the scruff. Chasing my dreams like they were goddamn laser pens on curtains. I’d bask in Internet sunbeams and let that money…

“Birth of the Living Dead” Trailer from Rob Kuhns on Vimeo. Texas Theatre pries Night of the Living Dead’s coffin lid open with Birth of the Living Dead, a perfectly unexpected documentary. Catch it all weekend long. The Symphony’s giving an all-Hitchcock show and Philip Freakin’ Glass channels Bela Lugosi…

As younger women we studied up on feminism. When Gloria Steinem said that “some of us are becoming the men we’d thought we’d marry,” well, it seemed positively delightful. Limitless, even. As adults, that sentence is a bit more depressing. There’s an inherent push/pull between who should and who shouldn’t…

We love a good movie-making competition, and there’s a new one divined through the intoxicated holy union of the Oak Cliff Film Festival and Four Corners Brewery. It’s called the Four Corners Film Race and it dares you to make one film in one week. I know what you’re thinking:…

“Halloween is the story of a shy young man who comes home and finds himself stalked by a creepy, three-note piano riff,” begins Master Pancake’s Facebook invite for its Sunday night show, happening at the Alamo Drafthouse, Richardson (100 S. Central Expressway). Birthed from the cunning mind of John Erler…

Carmen opens Friday in grand fanfare at the Winspear, kicking off another opera season. There, Dallas’ elite will gather, gowned and adorned in feathers, furs and exotic skins you will never afford for the Dallas Opera’s First Night. You’ll want to see Carmen during its run: It’s the ultimate tale…

She’s gone from Chelsea Handler’s sassy panelist to star of her own popular television show, and now Whitney Cummings will bring those size-zero jeans of hers to the White Swan Building at House of Blues (2200 N. Lamar St.). She’s a favorite because she’s bold, flipping the old “women are…

The activists have been working in their secret lair, drafting final details for Art Con 9. We don’t know the precise location of said war room, but imagine it to be a well-appointed Batcave, complete with remote-controlled giant rock entry. They’re artists, after all. They understand how to complete “a…

Carmen opens in grand fanfare at the Winspear on Friday night, kicking off another big season for the Dallas Opera. There, the city’s elite will gather, gowned and adorned in feathers, furs and exotic skins you can’t afford at First Night. You’ll want to see Carmen during its run: It’s…

We gathered like moths to an LED flame on Friday night as Aurora lit up the Art District. The acreage filled with installations by local and international artists, merging dance, light, sound and video. Watching thousands of people strolling Flora Street in search of art is an interesting phenomenon: As…
