If you’re a horror fan, there’s no better place to be than Texas Frightmare Weekend, one of the largest and most legendary horror conventions in the nation. Now in its 16th year, this event has solidified itself as the Southwest’s premier horror convention, drawing in fans from all over for a weekend packed with celebrities, vendors, panels, and all things macabre.
This year’s lineup is absolutely stacked, featuring Bruce Campbell, Ti West (I LOVE the X trilogy!), Lauren LaVera, Linda Blair, Sybil Danning, and Tom Savini, among many others. I’m especially looking forward to meeting Kevin Dillon—I’ve been dying to ask him about his experiences working on The Blob remake and The Doors, one of my all-time favorite movies. Another highlight? Jack Osbourne will be there, and I’m hoping to share a fun piece of personal history with him. Back in 1986, I met his dad, the legendary Ozzy Osbourne, and even asked him if he wanted to play Pac-Man! I still have the photo, and I can’t wait to see Jack’s reaction when I show it to him.
Of course, no horror convention experience is complete without diving into the vendor’s room, which is always my favorite part of any show. This is where the true gems are found—vintage horror collectibles, rare VHS tapes, posters, t-shirts, books, toys, and more. I’ll be on the hunt for some unique treasures while also recording footage for my YouTube channel and taking notes for my upcoming article in AntiqueWeek. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of finding a rare horror relic or an obscure movie collectible that you never knew you needed until you saw it.
Between the celebrity meet-and-greets, the incredible
vendor hall, the film screenings, and the energy of being surrounded by fellow
horror fans, Texas Frightmare Weekend 2025 is shaping up to be another
unforgettable event. Whether you’re a longtime attendee or a first-timer, this
convention is truly a celebration of all things horror. See you there—just
don’t forget to check behind you… you never know what might be lurking in the
shadows!
