Collider has a gaggle of specialty posters whipped up for the upcoming Fantastic Fest. Started in 2005 by Tim League of Alamo Drafthouse, Harry Knowles, Paul Alvarado-Dykstra, and writer Tim McCanlies (The Iron Giant), the film festival is in Austin, TX and focuses on genre films such as sci-fi, horror, fantasy and Asian. This year’s line up includes Let Me In, Red White & Blue, Heartless, Primal, High Lane, 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, Nevermore, Rubber and X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes among many others. The festival runs from Sept. 23 – 30 and will feature tributes to Roger Corman and Bill Pullman. Tim league will also reportedly be debating and boxing Michelle Rodriguez over Avatar and the Best Picture Oscar (cool, but a wrestling match would easily sell more tickets).
The official poster for the event, as well as a couple of the other posters are below, which you can click to enlarge. You can check out the full details on Fantastic Fest at their website. And you can head over to Collider for more of the great posters nad further info.

Ooh — I need wall-sized prints, STAT!
The non stop pimping of Alamo drafthouse continues. Its as if Scott Pilgrim created a shit kicker bar in the middle and told Chud about it. No one else cares.
Chudfan, or wanker as my brain tells me every time I read your name. Have you ever been to the Drafthouse? I have. A few times. I flew over from the UK with the sole intention of visiting it. Quite frankly, if you even consider yourself a film fan/enthusiast, then how can you not love the Drafthouse?? The film industry for us fans would be a poorer place without it. My only problem with articles like this is the fact that I don't live in Austin to go there. And how utterly dismal every other cinema is in comparison.
In short: shut the fuck up. Your incessant trolling is beyond boring now.
God I love the Alamo Drafthouse. LOVE IT!!!
Me and my GF are flying in from florida to attend fantastic fest and I cannot wait to bask in the glory of the alamo drafthouse. Everything I have heard and read has me very excited. Oh and Awesome posters.
Ok seriously that really looks like the Dalek/human hybrid from Doctor Who on the Fantastic Fest poster.
I hate to say it but the Drafthouse is over-rated as a theater. As a TX native I have been to the Drafthouse dozens of times and I have to say i don't like it. Now don't get me wrong, they do some amazing/inspired events that no one else can even dream of(hell 2 nights ago I saw The Social Network w/Aaron Sorkin, Armie Hammer and Jesse Eisenberg), but as a theater I really don't care for it. Unless it is for a special event I much prefer the "arthouse" chain theater in town. I just feel like The Drafthouse tries too hard with the idea that anything that is old, strange, foreign or an exploitation film is instanly cool. I'm sorry but a deordorant commercial from the seventies isn't cool and doesn't enhance my movie going experience. So just my 2 cents, events @ Drafthouse A+, food B+, facilities D
