Alternate, unused version of flier for 1996 Marathon.364 viewsThis is an early version of the flier, produced before I added the Cronenberg tribute to the lineup. Note the radical changes in the lineup between this version and the official copy...and the final program. (Neff)

*My 32-year old self really admires my 19-year old self for going off all philosophical with the Argento and Cronenberg quotes. (Neff)
Interior of 1996 program320 viewsYes, that's Christopher Lee as Dracula on the VAMPIRE HUNTER D page. (Neff)
Interior of 1996 program333 viewsTHE RAPTURE was one of my early stabs at creative programming. I still think that it's a fascinating film. (Neff)
Interior of 1996 program341 viewsBoy, now THIS is quite the double feature. I was deep into my "kill the audience" phase at this point, so I set out to program all the grim, disturbing films all in a row. Starting with Argento's DEEP RED, most of the audience actually slept through the following six hours. Ever the dutiful projectionist (er..video tech?) I would wake up, see everyone asleep, change tapes, start the next film and then go back to sleep. (Neff)

*On a personal note, THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES was one of my favorite childhood horror films. It's inclusion in the final 1994 Night of the Living Drexel gave it an added nostalgic dimension. (Neff)
