Texas Frightmare 2023 Announcements!

 Here at Gore Noir, I'll try to keep you updated occasionally on Texas Frightmare Weekend.

I have not been back to TFW since 2016, so we're going to make it a *point* to show face once again for 2023!

I'll keep you updated as the announcements come!

Ashy Slashy: Queen of Halloween "Texas Frightmare"

As we all know by now, the world is experiencing technical difficulties with a virus called COVID-19. We are all having to practice social distancing (which I'm going to be honest I've been practicing since birth), proper hygiene (the fact people are just NOW DOING THIS TERRIFIES ME.. considering I'm OCD/Germaphobe), wearing protective gear (and let's be honest MAJORITY aren't doing properly), and staying home (again... been doing this since forever..).

Thanks to COVID-19, when it comes to the convention community, a lot of conventions have been postponed, canceled, or have had their dates changed to a later time. Thankfully Texas Frightmare Weekend has rescheduled. Usually hosted in May, this year it will be hosted in September.

I am glad to announced that after FOUR YEARS, I'll be attending Texas Frightmare Weekend in September. Now if you aren't familiar with TFW, it's a great horror convention in Texas (at the DFW International Airport at the Hyatt Hotel). It's friendly, fun, and all things HORROR!

Here's a glance at some of the guests attending this year:

Are you attending? If so, let me know!

Blood Lust and Texas Frightmare

With both Texas Frightmare and our Blood Lust San Antonio event coming up things are a bit stressful here at Gore Noir HQ.  Pile on top of that our move to a new spot and I'm pretty lucky to have any hair on my head right now.  We won't start talking about the greys that are coming in..

First let's talk about Blood Lust.  I just finished a mock up of the DVD case which will probably change a bit but we'll be bringing this bad boy wrapped around a dummy DVD box so people can get a feel for the packaging and purchase a presale if they'd like.  Presales will start at Texas Frightmare and will continue until a month before the DVD release.

The DVD won't be out until probably September or October so we have a ways out as we'll be putting some nice production value into the editing and whatnot.  Expect lots of bloody goodness in this sweet DVD!

Our table at Texas Frightmare will be in the same room as the folks from Walking Dead so when you go check out Norman Reedus (who will hopefully come by our booth) make sure you remember to come by our table and say hi, grab some stickers, and some magazines!  We'll be giving away free posters with all magazine purchases.

A pile of random parts..

It's March!  What does March mean?  Well it means that a bunch of people will attempt to be Irish and drink their faces off and probably end up losing all their corned beef in some random back alley.  It also means that Blood Thirsty Thursdays is coming up and this time around they are showing Killer Klowns from Outer Space!  We will be there in some capacity.  Probably giving away the stickers at the left and watching the movie.  We'll bring some mags if you want to buy some but I don't think we'll be vending.  I wanna watch the damn movie!

This year is going to be busy as all shit.  I want to come out with multiple special issues outside of our regular every 3 month deal.  Give the people something to dine their eyes on while we are working on the regular issues and stuff.  The first idea is a Zine like the days of old.  I'm thinking mostly horror bands and some interesting art maybe some hot ladies of course but all black and white and xeroxed looking.  We are even going to have them print it at Kinko's on some regular paper maybe a bit thicker so it doesn't show from side to side but you get the idea!  All DIY and cut and paste and lovely.  I also want to work on a "to hot for the regular version" mag which will basically be a bunch of ladies just as their momma made them. 

We are also trying to get into Texas Frightmare (we are on a waiting list) and if we can't get in as a vendor we'll be there as regular shmoes.  We are also working on being a part of Lonestar Comic Con.  So hopefully that happens so we can hang out and have the ladies from The Black Dahlia Haunting, Devanny Pinn and Alexis Iaconno signing some of our issue #7 that they are featured in.  If you want to buy issue 7 or the leprechaun stickers or some raffle tickets that we are still selling hit the link:
