'The Town That Dreaded Sundown' Trailer

Fantastic Fest celebrates its 10th Anniversary
with its biggest year yet with 80 exciting films
including 22 World Premieres, 43 North
American & US Premiere screenings and 38
short films. The final wave includes HORNS,
THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN, THE
HIVE, IT FOLLOWS, EVERLY, OPEN WINDOWS
and guests Joe Lynch, Liv Corfixen & Nicolas
Winding Refn, Edgar Wright, Ti West, Nacho
Vigalondo, Alfonso Gomez- Rejon, and David
Robert Mitchell. Fantastic Fest 2014 takes
place September 18-25th in Austin, Texas at
the newly reopened Alamo South Lamar and
Highball.
Says festival founder Tim League:
"We promised that our tenth anniversary was
going to be the most deranged yet and I'm
proud to say we've delivered on that promise.
Not only have we compiled our biggest slate of
exceptional genre films but the chaos we've
embraced for our events is going to knock
people out. Much like I'm going to do to Ti
West."
Special guests of the festival include
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY director James
Gunn in attendance to moderate the red carpet
World premiere of David Yarovesky's THE HIVE
and Edgar Wright serving on the Next Wave
film jury.
Director Liv Corfixen who documents her
husband director Nicolas Winding Refn on the
making of ONLY GOD FORGIVES will both be in
attendance for the world premiere of MY LIFE
DIRECTED BY NICOLAS WINDING REFN,
Nicolas Winding Refn will also host a special
screening of THE ASTROLOGER, a long-lost
exploitation masterpiece recently rescued and
restored by local non-profit the American
Genre Film Archive.
For its 10th anniversary, Fantastic Fest is also
going all out with celebratory events and
special programming, including the 10-YEAR
BIRTHDAY ARMAGEDDON opening night party
featuring costumed creatures, human piñatas,
a breakdance competition, and a mind-blowing
food fight that will shake the foundations of
the earth. The 26 WAYS TO PARTY closing
night party takes its macabre cues from ABCs
OF DEATH 2 by running down the alphabet
from A to Z, unleashing a massive meltdown of
madcap mayhem in Fantastic Fest history.
FANTASTIC DEBATES, FF's long-running
showcase of intellectual and physical combat,
cements it's vein-bulging status for 2014 with
four (count 'em) rounds of verbal disputation
followed by two-fisted decimation! Included
among this year's white-knuckle conflicts are
Alamo Drafthouse founder TIM LEAGUE duking
it out with indie provocateur TI WEST on the
controversial subject of found footage horror,
filmmakers JOE LYNCH (EVERLY) and JOSH
ETHIER (ALMOST HUMAN) with "RESOLVED:
Samurais are infinitely more badass than
cowboys in cinema," while producer/film writer/
Twitch website editor TODD BROWN accepts
the challenge from BitTorrent.com's MATT
MASON, whose stunning topic is: "RESOLVED:
Bit-torrent is the saviour-not the enemy-of
independent film."
Fantastic Fest is excited to announce that for
the first time ever, the festival's opening night
screenings of TUSK and the world premiere of
ABCs OF DEATH 2 will also screen in all Alamo
Drafthouse markets nationwide with Q&A's
hosted by festival founder and Alamo
Drafthouse CEO Tim League that will be live
streamed in all theaters, on the Fantastic Fest
YouTube Channel andFandango, presenting
sponsor of the festival.
