Melissa Barrera Texas Frightmare Weekend 2025

Before going to a convention, I have gotten into a habit of looking for photos I would like to get signed.  I used to tried to pick out something from the table selection that I liked. Lately, I have been printing more and more on my own and bringing them.

I have to admit, sometimes the photo I printed is the same as the table option. Sometimes, I cropped it differently; which I like more. Sometimes, it’s just something that catches my eye. I’m looking for a good place for a signature.

I have gotten some very nice feedback from the celebrities, so I expect I’ll continue doing this. In the category of 'catching my eye' and and getting feedback, is the photo I got signed by Melissa Barrera.

With Frightmare being a horror convention, most people brought photos or posters from the movie, Abigail. A very good movie. And I was tempted myself. I just didn’t find anything I really liked.  However, I did find a beautiful photo with a golden sunset on an empty landscape. Her face was filled with a wistfully sad concerned look.  It spoke a lot in a single frame.  At the time, I had no idea what movie.

When I handed over the photo, I saw a few fleeting micro-expressions. She turned to look over the selection of photos on her table. It wasn’t there.  I mentioned I brought it.  I said, I just loved the photo and stated I didn’t even know where it came from. She said Carmen. And let it hang there.

Melissa gave me a very nice smile.  She talked about the film and the location and the director. Then she looked for a color to sign with. She chose the bronze.  I think it was a great choice with the landscape and the brightening sky.
