Drawn by the deep nostalgia of roaming video rental stores to find cool movies to watch by judging what its VHS box’s artwork would entice or beguile, filmmaker & artist Pat Tremblay has created a series of HORROR MOVIE POSTERS with the assistance of AI. He then proposed to talented individuals within the horror movie scene to write IMAGINARY REVIEWS for them. The result is a captivating mixture of styles, ranging from the enigmatic and alluring to the outrageously hilarious. The dimensional doors to the AIlien Realms have opened, and you can now read what horrific and crazy films this AI world has created, for better or for worse!

The TERROR IN THE AILIEN REALMS launch party will take place during the FanTasia Film Festival on Friday, July 28 2023 from 5-7 p.m. at McKibbins Irish Pub, 1426 Bishop, 2nd floor.
