Welcome to My Frightmare

New Column & Gallery On The Escapist Magazine

Texas Frightmare weekend was held this year the first weekend of May inside the Hyatt Regency DFW, down in the spacious conventions areas underneath the main part of the hotel, a severed heads throw from the sprawling DFW airport. Despite the proximity it's an easy place to miss if you don't know what you're looking for, the looping airport exits undulating like Cthulhu's tentacles as they twist through vast empty parking lots still under construction that eerily resemble a Hollywood backdrop for an 80's slasher movie. Think 'Nail Gun Massacre 6' or 'Power Tool Killer' and you'll get the idea. Short of cracking the Lament Configuration and reveling in the dour tones of hells bells as you cross dimensions, the best option for finding this hidden realm is a courtesy shuttle, a sentiment echoed by several locals who freely groused about getting turned around in search of the show.
