Beyond Fest 2019 Sets Jojo Rabbit, Dolemite Is My Name & More

Festival season is in full swing and it just turned September, which means it's peak genre time too, so it's perfect timing for the full Beyond Fest 2019 lineup to drop. The highest-attended genre fest in the US, Beyond Fest returns with 39 features this year for another 14-day celebration of genre in Hollywood, California.

The fest runs from Wednesday, September 25 to Tuesday, October 8, once again setting up shop in the historic Egyptian Theatre with a lineup that includes Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit, Richard Stanley's Color Out of Space, Craig Brewer's Dolemite Is My Name, and Bong Joon-ho's Parasite, to name a few. Other standouts include festival hits The Lodge, Come to Daddy, The Vast of Night and Little Monsters.

As usual, the fest also features a peak seasonal repertory slate, including a Tom Atkins triple feature of The Fog, Halloween III: Season of the Witch and Night of the Creeps with Atkins in attendance, a 10th anniversary screening for Jennifer's Body with Karyn Kusama and Megan Fox in attendance, William Friedkin on-hand for a screening of The Exorcist, and a closing-night reunion screening of Natural Born Killers with Oliver Stone, Woody Harrelson, Juliet Lewis, and Don Murphy stopping by for a post-screening Q&A.

That's just scratching the surface and this might just be the fest's most impressive lineup yet. Check out the full lineup details below, with shorts TBA. Tickets will be on sale via Brown Paper Tickets on Saturday, September 7th at 10 AM PST, and if the sell-out rate on recent years are any indication, you're gonna want be ready to buy when the sale goes live.
