Texas Fear Fest was a horror-oriented for-profit media event held in the Dallas, Texas, area. Guests included actors, directors, and producers from classic and upcoming horror films. Texas Fear Fest was organized by John Gray and presented in conjunction with horror websites "Pit of Horror" and "Dread Central".[2][3] Despite the apparent success of the first three events, the organization collapsed in 2011 due to internal issues which forced the cancellation of scheduled and future events.

Past events

Texas Fear Fest - March 2007

The first Texas Fear Fest was held March 23–25, 2007, at the Mesquite Convention Center in Mesquite, Texas, and presented by horror websites Pit of Horror and Dread Central.[4] Guests included David Arquette, Gunnar Hansen, Bill Johnson, R.A. Mihailoff, Andrew Bryniarski, Joe Dante, Richard Tyson, and Kane Hodder.[5]

The Fear Fest Icon Award was to be presented to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre director and guest of honor Tobe Hooper, but he canceled at the last minute due to an ear infection that prevented him from boarding the airplane.

Cancelled events

Camp Blood: Friday the 30th

The fourth Fear Fest, titled "Camp Blood: Friday the 30th:", was scheduled for May 13–15, 2011, but was canceled in February 2011.[9] The event was planned to host cast and crew from all 11 original Friday the 13th films, the 2009 remake, and the television series. This event was originally scheduled for August 13–15, 2010,[10] but legal and logistical issues forced a postponement and relocation. Originally scheduled at a lakeside hotel in Lewisville, Texas, "Camp Blood" was last booked into the Crowne Plaza North Dallas in Addison, a venue used by several other local genre conventions.[11]
