Interior of 2001 program500 views*At the time, Kathy Saunders was a veteran member of the ROCKY HORROR cast, which had settled into a regular run at Studio 35. Her husband, Mike, appeared as the dead body at the top of the stairs in NIGHT OF THE LIVING BREAD.
*THE TEENAGE UFO PSYCHO MONSTER SEX SHOW was a 90-minute trailer compilation from Hollywood sleaze maven Johnny Legend, which had been touring the West Coast fora few months. Johnny pitched it to me as "the history of Western civilization", everything from a Warner Brothers cartoon to rare exploitation trailers. I didn't realize that some of those trailers featured (ahem) nudity, so there were a few shocked reactions during this dinner hour screening. One woman scolded me with "I didn't come to a Horror Marathon to see sex and nudity!" Let the irony roll. In any case, one of the highlights of the screening for me was standing in the back of the theater with Weird Love Maker Mark Gunderson when the trailer for THE WEIRD LOVE MAKERS unexpectedly hit the screen. You can't script moments like that, folks. (Neff)

It perfectly captured the ebb and flow of sitting in a theater for 24 hours, and was entertaining to boot. Author Rob Harvilla now writes for The Village Voice. (Neff)
