There’s no better time than October for the release of a good horror film to please every movie junkie’s desire for a good scare. This year’s spooky horror film releases will include “Sick for Toys” filmed right here in Nocona.

The independent horror film is on track to be released Oct. 1 by Freestyle Digital Media, which will be releasing the film in North America on multiple streaming platforms.

However, everyone will have the opportunity to see the film long before October.

Nine Ten Films and Delco-Cut Productions have invited the people of Nocona and Montague County to the 2018 Dallas International Film Festival Texas Competition where the film will premiere. Showtimes include 10:45 p.m. on May 5 and 10:15 p.m. on May 7 at the Magnolia Theatre, 3699 McKinney Avenue No. 100 in Dallas. For tickets, visit www.dallasfilm.org.

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
