Texas Frightmare Weekend 2018: Last House on the Left special guests and Arrow Video release!

As if I needed more of a reason for us here at To Avoid Fainting to attend this year's TEXAS FRIGHTMARE WEEKEND horror con (yes, we will be there this year)!

TFW has just announced some awesome guests and a super rad Arrow Video release that I will most definitely need to be getting my hands on.

"Texas Frightmare Weekend Presenting Sponsor Arrow Video is bringing two very special guests to our May 4-6 event. In celebration of Arrow Video’s upcoming and previously unannounced release of Last House on the Left please welcome Jeramie Rain and Marc Sheffler!

 We're also very excited to give you a first look at the cover art by celebrated artist Paul Shipper."

While you're at it, check out my review for Last House on the Left, which also happens to be the first post I made for the site.

I'll save you the tired ass "remake vs original" argument that everyone has every second of every day, and just get to it.  The original The Last House on the Left (which was actually my first review for the site 2 years ago!) was grim and brutal is still hard to watch for some of us (although it boasts one of my favorite horror soundtracks).  I don't think it's on many folks' Top 10 lists, not for the content, but because simply, it's not very good.  That said, it's maintained it's cult classic status with many of us horror fans and it's lasting power is a testament to Wes Craven's earlier works.

And then, in 2009, we got our modernized version of the film.

The Last House On The Left (1972)

I couldn't think of a better first review than Wes Craven's directorial debut The Last House On The Left, could you?  You may not share the same opinions as me or the same taste in horror movies as me, but that's okay!  We all share the same LOVE and appreciation for the horror genre and that's what matters.  This is going to be a fun and gorey adventure for all of us and maybe we'll learn a few things from each other along the way.  Now let's start, shall we?
