TEXAS FRIGHTMARE 2017: THE BATES MOTEL PANEL!

May 6, 2017

Texas Frightmare Weekend, Arrow Video, and Blumhouse.com present Rob Galluzzo from the podcast Shock Waves moderating the panel for Bates Motel! Featuring Ryan Hurst, Max Thieriot, Nestor Carbonell, and Norman Bates himself, Freddie Highmore! May 6th, 2017!

REFLECTIONS on 3/30/2024: At this point in my career, I’d moderated a handful of panels, and been paired up with some of my horror icon heroes. But I can easily say, this was by far the most intimidating! Bates Motel had literally just wrapped its 5th and final season, so it was still fresh, relevant, and very popular. It was the first time I had a completely packed and sold out audience for a panel. I did my best to block it out, wing it, and have fun, and I think the results speak for themselves! Everyone from the actors to the guests seemed to really have a blast!

CONTEXT, the audience:

My POV: (I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to sneak a shot from my mic because, as a life long PSYCHO fan, this was a surreal moment for me!)
