Then, they put their two heads together for a five year run of all-night cinematic insanity!
Now, Bruce Bartoo and Joe Neff return to their roots and bring back the dead with...
The 1st Annual Ohio 24-Hour Horror Marathon
at the re-animated Grandview Theatre (1247 Grandview Ave.)
from noon October 17 - noon October 18, 2009.
| IN PERSON! STUART GORDON - LEGENDARY DIRECTOR OF HORROR CLASSICS LIKE RE-ANIMATOR, FROM BEYOND, AND MANY OTHERS! Yes, we're pleased to welcome back esteemed director and survivor of the 1992 24-Hour Horror Marathon Stuart Gordon as our guest of honor. As part of our celebration of Stuart's work, we’ll be screening his acclaimed Showtime Masters of Horror episode The Black Cat (starring Re-animator’s Jeffrey Combs as Edgar Allan Poe) and a 35mm print of his classic Lovecraftian splatterfest From Beyond. We've also offered Stuart the opportunity to select a film of his choice for inclusion in the lineup, so after an audience Q+A session, he'll introduce a screening of Gaspar Noe's 2002 revenge shockerr Irréversible. |
