Prey Texas Frightmare Weekend 2023

I have not seen the movie Prey.  I have heard a lot of good things. Frightmare had three actors from the movie. I have to admit I think I missed out by not seeing this in the theaters.

On Friday, I chatted with Dakota Beavers. Very friendly and we chatted about a few things. He only had done one other convention and enjoyed it. He was impressed how friendly and open people were and was looking forward to this show.  

At this time, I was the only person in line. He commented on the photo I printed. I liked his suggestion of white for the signature. While it doesn’t match perfectly with his face paint, it does look good on the photo.

Our conversation rambled like a good chat should. It casually roamed over a few topics. It was fun. Then someone walked up to the table and it was time to move on.

Next was Dane DiLiegro.  He was also very friendly and we got to chat too. I mentioned that it wasn’t often I saw someone taller than me when they are seated.  He stood and showed me how tall he really was (he had 6 inches on me).

That broke the ice and he asked where I was from. I told him it was a town 25 miles north of the convention. He mentioned he visited a friend there the day before. The buddy from college plays basketball and moved to my town.  Small world. We ended up talking about the town and things to do and of course BBQ. He wanted to go to the ONE place in town that was famous for BBQ. The line was too long and he ended up at a chain BBQ restaurant. The handler at the table and I both shook our heads in disappointment. We both agreed the other place was worth the wait. Hopefully he had time before he flew out to get the GOOD BBQ.

When Dane signed, he picked up a red sharpie and added 3 red dots to the signature. It might not show in the scan but I thought it was a nice touch.

I had to wait until Sunday to get Amber Midthunder. She wasn’t at Frightmare on Friday and I was in Houston for Saturday (a different convention). She had a long line but it was moving fast. She told me she liked the photo and she really looked scared. I loved that she used a green sharpie.

I must admit I bogged her down some. After she signed, I mentioned I really enjoyed Legion. She smiled and thanked me. Then I quickly showed her a photo I took at SDCC. It was a cast signing at the FOX booth. She looked and said: Oh my God, that’s me!  We both laughed.  I said the guy at the end asked if I watched the current season. I had to admit I started the first episode a couple of times and stopped when I realized I was lost. I had too many distractions and there was important dialogue I was missing. I really needed to focus so I waited. I told her I finally got the time and finished the series. It was worth the wait.

Legion SDCC 2018

Out of all my on-line raffle entries, this was the only signing I won. Previously I would get 5 to 6 cast signings at ComicCon from the Fox and WB booths.  Then I would pick up some ancillary signings at other booths.  This year, I won 1 cast signing from those 2 booths. It was disappointing.

However, the Legion signing was not a disappointment. The cast was ‘up’. They were enjoying this. There was 11 people at the counter signing for the fans.

When Amber asked if I had watched season 2, I said, I watched 15 minutes.  Then realized I didn’t now what was happening.  She laughed.  I said I re-watched those 15 minutes again and realized I was distracted by my phone and I need to really concentrate.  So I was planning to binge when I could give it the attention it deserved. Then John Cameron leaned over and said; You’re right. You can’t play on the phone and watch at the same time.   I think he was happy I realized that.
