Texas Fear Fest 2 comes to Dallas

Now raising money and awareness for the West Memphis Three.

by John P. Meyer

Along with a general reminder that Fear Fest 2 is going on this weekend at the Westin Park Central in Dallas, we've received word that the organizers will be raising money and awareness for the evidently wrongfully incarcerated West Memphis Three via a silent auction of music and entertainment-oriented memorabilia donated by the artists.

Items to be auctioned off include autographed photos from filmmaker/actor Norman Reedus, CDs and DVDs courtesy of New West Records, a collage by Damien Echols (one of the incarcerated West Memphis trio) and a Night of the Living Dead 3D DVD signed by Devil's Reject Sid Haig.
