Fantastic Fest 2011
Horror. Fantasy. Sci-fi. Action. Check one, or check all. The largest genre film festival in the U.S., Fantastic Fest has something for everyone – well, except, maybe, for the faint of heart.
FF2011 runs Sept. 22-Sept. 29 at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar (1120 S. Lamar Blvd.). Conveniently located next door is the Highball (1120 S. Lamar Blvd.), home to the Fantastic Arcade and ground zero for FF afterparties.
The Chronicle's Screens team will be blogging, tweeting, and generally raising a ruckus at the fest. Check in here for our ongoing coverage. Latest FF2011 Tweets > > >
