They told me. I listened but never internalized it. Saturdays at Texas Frightmare Weekend are a madhouse. You can't fart and someone be unable to recognize what you've had for breakfast. The line to ride the ESCALATOR winds around like at Six Flags (The escalator actually broke halfway through the day.)Naturally, this day was the most packed. I and my producer/cameraman/best friend Dakota traversed like sardines through vendors, met Steve-O of JACKASS fame (who signs ass cheeks and regales curious onlookers with tales of his fake tooth that's removable at will) and checked out some decked-out hearses.Once the sun set, the convention kicked into high gear. First, the world premiere of Full Moon Features' MODELS VS. WEREWOLVES (AI slop). The movie wasted no time in contextualizing producer Charles Band's claim that Full Moon would release 10 films in 2026. How? AI. AI slathered on the screen like dirty Vaseline. There's no visual language developed, no direction, just the vomiting of pre-existing assets. I'd even grant it the moniker of 'collage' if I believed the placement of said elements extended beyond a Copy-Paste prompt.Operating as a salve to MODELS VS WEREWOLVES was the Fake Horror Trailer Showcase, presented by "Bloody" Bill Pon and Kelley Wilson (CIRCUS OF THE DEAD 1 & 2). Here is where anyone, of any skill level or experience, can submit a trailer for a fake horror movie. It flexes creative muscles and made for a riotous celebration of scrappy independence. Mixed in with the fake trailers were real trailers for GOLDILOCKS (twisted fairytale masked slasher)---Texas Frightmare Weekend's ⁠website⁠Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Throw a couple dollars in the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tip jar!

Coming to you live outside the Grand Ballroom of the Irving Convention Center, The Movies trucks along through Texas Frightmare Weekend 2026!It's Day 2, Saturday, as I record this, but we're gonna be talking about Day 1, Friday.Friday was a learning curve. I had a massive headache, almost - almost - as equally massive anxiety and I struggled to put myself out there to chat with people and share my experience with you lovely people.But I, with the help of a pharmaceutical rapscallion who handed me Tylenol and ibuprofen, persevered. I ended Friday utterly exhausted but grateful at all I was able to see.We're talking exhibits, sweet-ass merch, Joe "Holy shit, he's the first person I see once I enter the building" Dante.

On Sunday, March 1, I attended LSF Fest V at the Farr Best Theatre in Mansfield, TX. LSF stands for Litte Spark Films, a production studio based out of Arlington, co-founded by husband-wife duo Joe Manco & Catalina Querida in 2013.From music videos to 48-hour-shorts submissions, fake trailers for Texas Frightmare Weekend (including one starring Troma King Lloyd Kaufman) and much more, Little Spark Films has built a reputation in the DFW metroplex as a community-centered studio making irreverent, scrappy horror flicks with mischeivous grins and buckets of blood.Last month, LSF announced, after receiving a million-dollar investment from now-CFO Chris Rushing, their plans for expansion into a full-fledged genre studio, including a film slate, new executive team members and collaborations with outside productions as co-producers.LSF Fest V was their victory lap, a party celebrating the studio's past, showcasing recent works of friends and previous collaborators, alongside a few glimpses into what the future holds.Walking around the century-old theater, I got the sense like I was the new boyfriend at a family reunion. The LSF cabal, specifically, the crew from last year's short DEATH WORLD, showed up to support: actress and key makeup artist Tori Yeager, key makeup artist Regan Schenck, lead actor and cowriter Cory Ahre, sound recordist Cameron Hazelwood.If I'm the new boyfriend, this analogy suggests my date is Jacob Harper, fellow entertainment journalist contributing to 1428 Elm and his own podcast Talkin' Terror . We met outside the theater, started chatting and inevitably I learn he was a set decorator on DEATH WORLD. All roads lead back to Little Spark Films.LSF's social media presence includes a daily filmmaking tip, everything from respecting one's fellow man to ensuring your legal documentation is on-point. Their YouTube channel also features a guide on building one's own production bible. Judging from these posts and the wealth of repeat collaborators in LSF's circle, I get the impression these folks live in an abundance mindset, sharing whatever knowledge and resources (minus Lloyd Kaufman books, because y'know, you lend people books, you never get that shit back) they can.Schenck's short, SHADOWS AT THE ALTAR, played at LSF Fest V, along with Travis Patten's HAHTINU, which was co-produced by Hazelwood's company Pensive Pictures. LSF's future slate includes directorial efforts from Hazelwood and Ahre. Chief creative officer Preston Fassel has two scripts in production. It seems like the studio invests in the growth of their friends, building a community, not just a film library. If LSF Fest V was anything to go by, I think they've made good on that effort.---A BEN EVANS FILM dir. James Henry Hall & Bret K. Hall - a man makes a film starring his recently deceased parents.

Bill speaks to actor and filmmaker Keith Gordon about his life and career, from making Super 8 shorts and interning at MOMA's film archives after school to acting in Off-Broadway plays and Hollywood movies like JAWS 2, ALL THAT JAZZ, DRESSED TO KILL and CHRISTINE, to directing independent films like THE CHOCOLATE WAR, A MIDNIGHT CLEAR, MOTHER NIGHT and WAKING THE DEAD and television series like BETTER CALL SAUL and FARGO. Topics include: Stanley Kubrick, Billy Crudup, DRESSED TO KILL controversies, Joan Micklin Silver, STATIC, making independent films in the 1980s vs. the 1990s, Keith's filmed appreciations for Indicator/Powerhouse Blu-Rays, working in television, HOME MOVIES, deleted scenes, DVDBeaver, Nicolas Roeg, recording director's commentaries and the nature of memory.

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmakers Cameron and Colin Cairnes (LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL, 100 BLOODY ACRES) join Adam, Joe, and Arwen in the ArieScope Studio to discuss their career journey and the making of their new hit film. From growing up in Australia in the 80's as fans of cinema and the movies that inspired them to pursue a career in filmmaking… to the late night talk shows, hosts, and famous moments in television that inspired their script for LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL… to the challenges they faced crafting a story set entirely in one location and implementing a “found footage/documentary” style… to the various technical nuances and camera tricks they used to present the film in as realistic a way as possible… to how they work together as both brothers and filmmakers… to the social media backlash the duo faced over using A.I. technology to generate a few of the film's graphics (and WHEN that decision was actually made)… Cameron and Colin take us deep behind the scenes of one of the year's most talked about horror films and their devilish late night journey together. Meet Adam Green at Texas Frightmare Weekend in Irvine, TX May 17th - 19th where he'll be appearing alongside Kane Hodder, Danielle Harris, and FX artist Robert Pendergraft from the HATCHET franchise and offering the first ever “Victor Crowley” photo op! Visit www.TexasFrightmareWeekend.com for details.

It seems like every few years movie fans are treated to a heaping helping of deja vu, when Hollywood releases a series of similarly-themed films.  In 1996, there was TWISTER and its doppelganger TORNADO starring Bruce Campbell.  In 1997 we got DANTE'S PEAK and VOLCANO.  1998 brought us the extinction-level comet crisis films DEEP IMPACT and the macho cheese of Michael Bay's ARMAGEDDON.  So for episode #98 I thought I'd talk about the wave of undersea creature features of 1989 which included DEEPSTAR SIX, LEVIATHAN, THE ABYSS and LORDS OF THE DEEP.  Plus the new book by R.G. Henning about FRIDAY THE 13th Part 3, Blue Öyster Cult's new release 'Ghost Stories', the Texas Frightmare Weekend countdown watch list and more.  Available on Apple, Spotify or your favorite podcast app.  Please Like, Rate and SUBSCRIBE!

Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a filmmaker trying to cope with the anxiety of directing, Vera gives sound advice on what to consider before going the “parody” or “fair use” route with a project, and Adam finally confronts Joe over an issue he's had with him for years.

Filmmaker Dave Parker (THE HILLS RUN RED, TALES OF HALLOWEEN, PUPPET MASTER: DOKTOR DEATH, IT WATCHES) returns to THE MOVIE CRYPT to discuss the making of his latest film YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE LET ME IN (now playing on Tubi). From the whirlwind process of being hired to direct the project and immediately shipping off to Italy… to the supposedly “haunted” villa that much of the film was shot in and filming in a real underground tomb… to the challenges and the joys of helming a film as a “work for hire” while still finding ways to creatively make it your own… to the secrets for winning over a new crew… to returning to work with the great Charlie Band and directing PUPPET MASTER: DOKTOR DEATH (2022)… to how to stretch a production's extremely limited resources to create the best possible film… to why editing experience can be so crucial to directing… Dave's experiences from the last several years are an inspiring lesson on how to hang in there when it feels like things aren't going the way you want it to and just how quickly the tide can change. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a filmmaker who is working crew jobs while looking to prepare for the moment when he steps into the director's chair, Dave dishes on the food in Italy, and the group nerds out on the 2024 Oscars and the movies they've been digging.
