TERROR IN THE AILIEN REALMS:
TRANSDIMENSIONAL HORROR MOVIE POSTERS & THEIR FILM REVIEWS
by PAT TREMBLAY & 50 COLLABORATORS
BOOK CONCEPT:
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!
BOOK LAUNCH: FRIDAY JULY 28TH, 2023 5-7PM, @ FANTASIA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

BOOK REVIEW • AIPT Comics (USA 2024)
"Quite simply, the posters found in the book are simply amazing. [...] Some are outlandish while others have an arthouse quality to them. It is an interesting mix that makes each page interesting.."
"Adding to the fun are the fictional movie reviews that are included. [...]There are a bunch of neat entries and they also show what can be accomplished when AI is paired with human creativity."
"an enjoyable item that genre fans should get a kick out of. On a grander scale, it provides a glimpse into the possibilities of AI art."
-Nathaniel Muir
