Tickets Selling fast for THE WOMAN Screening!

Texas Frightmare Weekend is pleased to announce the Texas premiere of Lucky McKee's controversial film THE WOMAN at the Studio Movie Grill (1600 South Stemmons, Lewisville, TX). The presentation will include red carpet entrances by McKee as well as the film's stars .

 

McKee's THE WOMAN (produced by OFFSPRING director Andrew van den Houten) follows the horror that results when a successful country lawyer captures a wild woman in the woods and forces his family to help him "civilize" her. The film's premiere screening earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival turned into a controversial event after one audience member hurt themselves trying to exit the theater and another audience member accosted McKee as the director attempted to begin a post screening Q&A because both people had become so completely distressed and upset by the intense content and violence in the film. THE WOMAN also stars Angela Bettis and Lauren Ashley Carter.

 

The film also owes the casting of Shyla Molhusen to TFW as McKee's father discovered the daughter of Artwith Designs Latex owner Kurt Molhusen at last year's event. Molhusen has been a vendor at the convention each year since it's inception in 2006.    

 

Double Feature of OFFSPRING and the Texas Red Carpet Premiere of THE WOMAN

 

THE WOMAN will be preceded by a screening Andrew van den Houten's OFFSPRING!

Thursday April 28th, starting at 7:00 pm at the Studio Movie Grill in Lewisville
BUY TICKETS HERE or at the theater. Only $15 for both movies! Lucky McKee, Sean Bridgers, Pollyanna McIntosh and Shyla Molhusen IN PERSON at the screening!

 

OFFSPRING available now on DVD and Bluray from Lionsgate Home Entertainment.
