Back of 1999 program451 viewsMEAT was a 16mm college short film that my friend Jim Turner directed. We also showed it at the 2001 Studio Marathon. Jim hooked us up with our source for the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE print. (Neff)Sep 06, 2009
Interior of 1999 program591 views*For the Surprise Horror Classic, we let the audience vote on a selection of films to which we had access. They voted for the 1972 Amicus TALES FROM THE CRYPT. De Palma's CARRIE placed a narrow second in the voting, but it would have its day in court a few years later.
*The winners of the Costume Contest were the world famous Glass brothers, who dressed as an evil Santa Claus beating up a little boy. Second place went to Marathon stalwart Rick Hougland, who came as the WWF's Mankind.
*ROCKY HORROR was a gamble, to be sure. With the closing of the Southland Mall theater, the local ROCKY cast had been displaced for several months, and since I knew a few of them I figured that they could have a one night home and we could have an added attraction for our new event. We actually had a decent amount of pro-rated walkup business just for ROCKY, and even the regular Marathon crowd seemed to enjoy themselves. A few months later, Studio 35 would welcome the cast as a permanent attraction, a status they still hold to this day.
*On a side note, I was horrendously ill with a sinus infection during the entirety of the Marathon, so my demeanor and general emceeing skills were quite fried around the edges. (Neff)Sep 06, 2009
