Overheard by tyrannosaurus_rek in the ticketholders line for the opening night of the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. A young man and woman are discussing what they'll do after the screening of Mulberry Street.

With the final film line-up announced and special guests already booking flights to Toronto (legendary horror dude Uwe Boll! Direct from Germany!), the acclaimed Toronto After Dark Film Festival is set to play out its second year. Starting tomorrow night through to the 25th, the Bloor Cinema will play host to over 50 new independent and international horror/sci-fi/fantasy/action/animation and generally offbeat works from across North America, Europe and Asia.

Though Brad Pitt might be sitting this one out, the Toronto After Dark Film Festival just unveiled the first seven of fourteen feature premieres for their critically acclaimed horror/fantasy fest. Now entering its second year, the current lineup includes (wait for it) David Arquette's horror film debut as writer/director, The Tripper (starring Paul Reubens, Jason Mewes, Lukas Haas, etc). As if that wasn't a sufficient enough reason to grab tickets, other flicks include the highly anticipated new zombie musical from Troma Films' Lloyd Kaufman (Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead) and the most expensive Russian fantasy film ever made (The Wolfhound). Also, a new sci-fi animation from Korea (Aachi & Ssipak, whose IMDB entry reads "In a future where energy is made from fecal matter...small-time hustlers try to get rich while fending off the mutated Diaper Gang"), two critically acclaimed new zombie outbreak films (Mulberry Street and Automaton Transfusion) and an award-winning documentary about one priest's attempt to shoot a Christian version of Star Wars (Audience Of One). Yes, sir. Torontoist is excited.
