Tim Burton, Bill Murray, Keanu Reeves, Paul Rudd, and Kevin Smith are just a handful of the celebs who have made appearances at previous Fantastic Fests in Austin. With a star-studded lineup like that, you can expect to meet and greet with many other high-profile actors and directors at the Fantastic Fest 2017, which is running from September 21st to the 28th.
In a city that prides itself on keeping things weird, Fantastic Fest invites extra oddness in the form of sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and action movies. The indie flicks are screened at the Alamo Drafthouse and complemented by live panels of the actors who star in them and the people who produced and directed them. Ticket and badge prices vary, so decide which parts of the festival appeal to you, and then check out the ticketing options that fit your needs.
