The It Came from Texas Film Festival will feature B-movies that were shown at drive-in movie theaters around the country in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s — quirky, campy films made in Texas that fit the horror/sci-fi genre.
The spotlight film of the event will be 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Immediately prior to that seminal film will be the 2020 documentary, Rondo & Bob, which focuses on Art Director Bob Burns, the horror film legend who created the look of the film. Burns was obsessed with B-movie actor Rondo Hatton, an average man whose face was transformed into a distorted mask.
B-movies being screened at the festival include Zontar: Thing from Venus, Manos: The Hands of Fate, Don't Look in the Basement, Beyond the Time Barrier, The Amazing Transparent Man, Attack of the Eye Creatures, and The Killer Shrews.
The festival will also feature short films made by the students of the Garland High School Reel Owl Cinema film program.
The Mocky Horror Picture Show, Texas' only interactive movie mocking comedy troupe, will close out the festival by making fun of Ray Kellogg's 1959 cheesy horror classic, The Giant Gila Monster.
