Fantastic Fest is returning to Austin, Texas, this fall, taking over the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar from September 17-24, 2026. As always, the festival is packed with world premieres, major genre releases, and the kind of completely unexpected discoveries that make it one of our favorite places to find what’s next in horror.
We dug through this year’s massive lineup and pulled out a handful of films we’re particularly excited about, including The Glorious Dead.
Directed by John Adams and Toby Poser, the filmmaking duo behind The Deeper You Dig and part of the family filmmaking team responsible for Hellbender, Where the Devil Roams and Mother of Flies, the apocalyptic horror film will make its U.S. premiere at Fantastic Fest.
The setup sounds absolutely insane: a sheriff and her deputy awaken to find the world completely transformed, with bloody chasms erupting from the earth, grotesque creatures born from flesh roaming the landscape, and the recently deceased rising again.
