Once again, SHOCK AROUND THE CLOCK ran rampant through our collective cinematic consciousness. And once again, it's being banished back to the grave for another year. But be warned! The raging Marathoid monster will return again to wreak more havoc! Until next year...

INFAMOUS FOREIGN SHOCKER A SERBIAN FILM & INDIE CHILLER MIDNIGHT SON TO PREMIERE AT 3RD ANNUAL OHIO 24-HOUR HORROR MARATHON! SHOCK AROUND THE CLOCK, the 3rd Annual Ohio 24-Hour Horror Marathon (October 15-16 at the Grandview Theatre) is proud to announce the addition of two area premieres to its already stacked lineup of terror classics and rediscoveries! First up is the OHIO THEATRICAL PREMIERE of Srdan Spasojevic's internationally infamous shocker A SERBIAN FILM, the most controversial, gut-churning, uncompromising, no holds barred film of the decade! And we're proud to present it UNCUT and UNRATED! This gross out epic is the tender story of a former adult film star who is lured back into the game for one last shoot (SPOILER: things don't go well.) Grab your barf bags and gird your loins,'cause this one is a rough ride indeed, a taboo shattering nightmare that also serves as a pointed political commentary on the war torn soul of Serbia. Also screening will be the MIDWEST PREMIERE of acclaimed indie chiller MIDNIGHT SON, which has been making its way through the festival circuit throughout this year. The story of a young man cursed by disease to avoid the sunlight and drink human blood, MIDNIGHT SON has been compared to George Romero's Martin and was acclaimed by Bloody Disgusting's Brad Miska as "an impeccable, daring and undoubtedly remarkable debut."

Join longtime Nightmarathon masterminds Bruce Bartoo and Joe Neff for a round the clock plunge into
cinematic madness from Noon October 15 - Noon October 16 at the Grandview Theatre
(1247 Grandview Ave., Columbus, Ohio), an entire day's worth of fright film classics, rediscovered gems, cult obscurities and area premieres from the cutting edge of the genre. A major highlight of this year's festival will be a rare, archival 35mm screening of Robert Wiene's silent masterpiece of German Expressionist horror, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI. We're proud to welcome Sue Harshe (of Columbus rock stalwarts Scrawl) back to the Nightmarathon stage for a LIVE MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT to the film. SHOCK AROUND THE CLOCK veterans will remember Sue from her stunning short film performance at the 2009 edition of the event, so the chance to see her stretch out her talents to feature length should be a treat. |

Happy Horrors of Thanksgiving! As those of you who attended this year's SHOCK
AROUND THE CLOCK well know, we had some technical snafus, so we didn't get all that we had
hoped up on the screen. To make it up to the loyal Marathoid throng, Bruce and Joe and the
Grandview's David and Jennifer are delighted to present the complete batch of trailers as they had
been intended to be shown. It'll be the late show at the newly reopened Grandview Theatre
on Friday and Saturday, December 4th and 5th, and it'll be FREE.
There'll be about three
hours of trailers with an intermission thrown in. Watch grandviewtheatre.net
or the official Marathon website forum for the showtime,
somewhere in the 11PM to midnight range. Hopefully the Grandview's liquor license will be in place
for those not driving. We may have a few remaining SHOCK AROUND THE CLOCK posters and
shirts available for sale, and see what kind of prizes we can drag back from swag hell.
So please stop by. Bring that friend who you've been trying to convince to come to a Marathon and
give them a taste of our special warped cinemadness. It's free and open to all. And please buy some
concessions to support the Grandview.
