If you are a fan of horror or genre films in general, you’ve probably heard about Fantastic Fest. The yearly film festival in Austin, Texas celebrates genre films and those weird movies you can’t help but love. To help celebrate its 20th anniversary, we’re excited to do 20 days of the women who made it possible.
Fantastic Fest is, for many, the best film festival of the year. I went for my first time in 2024 and was so angry I couldn’t stay the entire festival. It made me fall in love with Austin as a city and, in the grand scheme of festivals, it just feels like a celebration of movies and what we love about going to the theaters. And they’ve had some pretty kick ass ladies as part of the celebration.
