"When the Cold Crept In" to Screen at Texas Frightmare!



"When the Cold Crept In" has been selected to screen at the southwest's premier horror convention Texas Frightmare Weekend. "Cold," a suspenseful 18 minute short written and directed by Dallas filmmaker Bradley Steele Harding, recently won the audience award at the historic Texas Theater's popular "Show Your Shorts" program. It stars Molly Moroney (Hallmark's "The Front of the Class") and Moira Wilson as two friends whose evening walk through a suburban neighborhood takes a sinister turn when one of them makes a shocking confession. This creepy, adult horror film is a throwback to the more contemplative, character-driven suspense films of the '60's.

The wildly popular Texas Frightmare Weekend takes place April 29th, 30th and May 1st at the Sheraton Grand Hotel DFW Airport location. "Cold" will close the event as part of the shorts program at 4PM on Sunday. "We are very excited to be a part of Texas Frightmare," said Harding. "They've always been supportive of the independent film community in Texas and their stamp of approval is huge." The convention this year boasts a distinguished list of horror film heavyweights including independent film icon Roger Corman, "Phantasm" mastermind Don Coscarelli, original Freddy Krueger actor Robert Englund and writer/director Clive Barker. In addition to the impressive guest list, the film schedule features the Texas premier of Lucky McKee's controversial "The Woman," the world premiere of "Boggy Creek," and a midnight screening of the cult hit "The Human Centipede" (with director and star commentary). "The best part for me," said Harding, a self-confessed horror geek, "is that I get to say my short will be screening immediately following the Don Coscarelli Q&A."
