SATURDAY MARCH 23: The campaign marches on with a full day of rarified events! First, we assemble at the Wyrd War Gallery from 4pm to 7pm to meet acclaimed fantasy artist Richard Hescox and witness a beautiful collection of his award winning original paintings. In addition to his sword & sorcery work, Hescox is also the artist responsible for the original 1984 VHS art for THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE as well as theatrical poster art for SWAMP THING (1982), REVENGE OF THE DEAD (1983) and more! Meet the man who unassumingly shaped our notion of all things fantastic!

After the artist reception, we wind our way back to Hollywood Theatre for a FANTASY DOUBLE FEATURE! Tickets available HERE. The brilliant French multimedia artist known as ERANG has created the first dungeon synth musical fantasy film exclusively for WYRD WAR that will be unveiled for a world premiere in Portland, Oregon! Sit back and experience a visual & auditory transmission from…Another World, Another Time! This will be followed by a 35mm screening of Charles Band’s THE DUNGEONMASTER (1984)! With appearances from the late Richard Moll and W.A.S.P., this rare gem from the golden age of TSR and Commodore 64 role playing games perfectly concludes our themes of…METAL, MUSCLE & MYTHOLOGY!

See you in March, Wyrd Warriors!
