It’s not often you see a line forming outside a store in a shopping center on a Tuesday afternoon, but that was the scene when women of all ages — and a few men — gathered to meet celebrated fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg when she appeared at the Sephora…
The smaller roles and the actors who play them are the reasons to see To Kill a Mockingbird, now playing at the Wyly Theatre in a Dallas Theater Center production. Anastasia Muñoz, playing both the judgmental “Miss Stephanie” and the rape-accuser Mayella Ewell, is so good you probably won’t realize…
Alexander Dijulio’s Alfabeto is as grounded in reality as it floats in the surreal. The show addresses context, authenticity and art itself. Although the show is made up of a number of pieces, you could consider it, Dijulio’s first solo exhibition, a single installation. “The work is about finding harmony…
Halloween night at the Texas Theatre, I Heart Cinema threw up a 35mm screening of the 1988 Lance Henriksen gem Pumpkinhead. There was Pumpkin Ale, a “Pumpkinhead” cocktail — made with bits of real human heads (editor’s note: not true) — and a screening of Trick ‘R Treat. There were,…
Tags: Gay Video & Lesbian Movies, Logo: Fierce TVThis week on The A-List: Dallas, our cast members engaged in one long, drunken game of Telephone. As usual, it ended with sex, rage and bananas. Let’s do this. Scene 1: We open on the object of everyone’s desire, cowboy Levi, as…
It was pretty damn magical Friday night in the Arts District. The galleries were open late and light, video, and sound installations of one kind and another dotted the streets as part of Aurora. The Nasher hosted the final ‘Til Midnight of the season with The Bright playing on the…
We’ve done it. A complete 31 fun-filled days of Horror. Some have made us laugh. Some cry. And when we’re talking about this genre, those two reactions usually carry completely different connotations! We appropriately kicked this thing off with John Carpenter’s Halloween and Nick, Merritt, and I attempted to take…
I had never even been on a roller coaster until five years ago, when I jumped on Disney’s Splash Mountain after taking one look at all of those harried, middle-aged women weighted down with sippy cups and strollers, sitting on the “mom bench” of non-riders. I thought to myself then,…

Need new décor for your coven? Something to camouflage the bloodstains on the basement wall? Local thrift and vintage stores are well stocked with affordable, terrifying pieces of art depicting death’s heads and visions of hell.

First of all, Happy Halloween. Secondly, let’s talk great costumes. It’s pretty well known around these here parts that the Oak Lawn Halloween Block party, which opens up Cedar Springs for the costumed roaming, is one of the great Halloween parties. Our contributing photographer Stephen Masker patrolled the area with…
Of all the horror films in our countdown, Ti West’s The House of the Devil (2009) is the most unpredictable and inspiring homage to the genre. The film is set in the 1980’s, and if you didn’t read anything else about the film before popping it in your Playstation–you’d think…
Corn rigs and barley rigs, not Nicolas Cage. 1973, not 2006 remake. These differences are very important. There’s no shouting for the drone to die. There is no mouth-breathing Cage-face. No, in Robin Hardy’s horror feature, the Wicker Man the build-up is about the story and not about the cast…
After seeing just how much you people love the Palahniuk based on the popularity of our Q&A and his packed house at the DMA, we thought we might engage you with a little interaction book club-style. So it’s gonna be his latest. It’s Halloween weekend so why not, right? Plus,…
Driving down any major Texas highway in October you can see pop-up Halloween costume stores scattered on corners like landmines. Ever wonder how they got there? Or how they come up with all those clever costume ideas? We did, so we decided to check out some costume shops around the…
There are so many Horror films to watch around All Hallow’s Eve (see previous 27 entries) but so few of them actually have to do with or take place on Halloween! John Carpenter’s iconic and classic Halloween (our film from October 1st that kicked off this whole spooky shebang) is…
It seems almost criminal to even think about Halloween when Your Texas Rangers are in a do-or-die Game 7 of the World Series tonight, but, on the off chance you’re planning to peel yourself off the couch or barstool, we’ve got a way for you to calm your sports nerves…

Actually, we gotta be quiet while Haley Walker talks to…
Not a baseball fan? Before you read my reasons why Psycho is a fantastic horror film, head on over to Angelika Film Center to get in line for a screening of the Hitchcock classic on the big screen (it starts at 8 p.m. in Dallas and 7 p.m. in Plano)…
One of the last things Steve Jobs was working on, before he died October 5, was television. He told biographer Walter Isaacson about it and a few details are included in the just-published book Steve Jobs. “I’d like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use,”…
It felt a little dangerous and inappropriate to be viewing English-born artist Nigel Cooke’s work, as if as viewers we had slipped inside his head to see insecurities, dark humor, questions and answers — some of which it was difficult to feel as if we had the right to see…
