Flier for the 1995 event.464 viewsYes, this is where it all began for me. Some background info: crushed by the cancellation of the Drexel 24-hour Horror Marathons, I decided to continue them on my own...on video...in my sister's basement. This is the (mostly) hand-drawn flier for my first event. As you can see from the program pages, TESTUO: IRON MAN, CARRIE, THE EVIL DEAD and DAY OF THE DEAD did not play. I can only imagine what Bruce thought when my 18-year old self started sending him the fliers, programs, etc. from these Marathons. (Neff)
Credit page for 1995 program464 viewsSuch was my advanced stage Marathon Mania, that the "prizes" from the Drexel North were mainly fliers for films that had shown there. Yep, I was hooked pretty bad.
Steve Miller, my long time partner-in-crime, also organized a Twin Peaks video Marathon from 1994-1997. That event included the series pilot, all 29 episodes, TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME, a costume contest (I was a three time winner as Bobby Briggs, Frank Booth and Killer Bob), Steve's basement decorated as The Black Lodge, copious amounts of coffee, donuts and pie and much sleep-deprived madness. Those were the days. Steve is currently in charge of the pin trading division at Disney headquarters in Florida. He is still crazy as a loon and one of my best friends. (Neff)
