The Westin Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport hotel
post 5 by Sherman Brennan

This was one of the three hotels that Texas Frightmare Weekend used during it's history as one of the only horror movie/literature/art conventions in the southwest of the U.S.  It was here that I met John Carpenter, director of Halloween (the original), The Fog (again, the original), and They Live!, to name a few.  This also where TFW started its' now defunct tradition of having a zombie walk, and where I got to party with the director of The Human Centipede, a Dutch guy by the name of Tom Six, the evil doctor in the movie, a German by the name of Dieter Lazer, and the director of a Japanese horror movie called Helldriver, Yoshihiro Nishimura.  It was the year that many foreign visitors came specifically to TFW because they had heard that it was fast becoming the horror convention to attend if you wanted to meet, up close and personal, any of the celebrities, directors, and special effects masters involved in American and International horror.

The Westin hotel chain is owned by Starwood Hotels but I could not locate the name of the architect who designed this particular building.
