IT'S OVER FOR THIS YEAR! SEE YOU IN 2014!

Millions of years ago, before the human race existed, an adventure began. An adventure that eventually leads man to confront his own destiny in an odyssey of exploration.

NOW... Go Beyond the Infinite with...The 30th Annual 24-Hour Ohio Science Fiction Marathon from Noon Saturday May 4th until Noon Sunday May 5th at the Drexel Theatre!

Join us for a transformational journey through the cinematic stargate, as we leave behind the analog world for the wonders of the Drexel's new digital projection system. The filmic wonders on display will include:

*A 45th Anniversary screening of Stanley Kubrick's mind-blowing, visionary masterpiece 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

*The elastic hyper-reality of Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION

*Ultraman vs. Ultraman Belial's giant monster army in MEGA MONSTER BATTLE

*The Midwest Premiere of the mega-meta-mashup that is TIME OF THE ROBOTS

*The Ohio Premiere of two gravity crossed lovers in UPSIDE DOWN

*The Midwest Theatrical Premiere of the quirky, alternate reality, Hitler-hunting escapades of DANGER 5

*The brain-bending eroticism of the the Fantastic Fest award-sweeping, multinational face melter VANISHING WAVES

*A larger than life DR. CYCLOPS

*Aubrey Plaza in the quirky time travel romance SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED

*Rocks striking back (finally!) in THE MONOLITH MONSTERS

*Plus one or two more surprises to be announced, in addition to the usual trailers, shorts, and more!

Keep you rayguns cocked, your space helmets polished and your eyes glued to this site for stimulating discussion of all things Marathoid on our forum, and for all the latest updates. And remember, SF30 is the most reliable Marathon ever made. No SF30 has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.

What is the Sci Fi Marathon?

Transmitted by Jen

The Sci-Fi Marathon is an entire spin of our planet watching science fiction features, premieres, over-looked gems, vintage trash and classics, along with cartoons, shorts and previews of coming attractions from years gone by. Hundreds of prizes are awarded to all winners and entrants in the Annual Costume Contest, as well as other contests and competitions at random. Those who survive the entire 24 hours will also receive the much coveted chrome Certificate of Marathoid Behavior to impress their friends. The devoted, demented Marathoid throng will return from far and wide to experience this year's 'thon. The communal comaraderie of this audience often makes the unbearable hilarious and the great even more glorious. Surviving the sleep-deprived ordeal with this crazed crowd brings us together in delightful, bizarre, and unexpected ways.
