Loving all the Bruce Campbell talk, I'd gladly watch Evil Dead or any of it's line.
And speaking of suggestions, I'll throw this one out:
The Woods. I'll bet a lot of folks missed this movie when it came out a few years ago. If you don't know anything about it, don't look anything up and spoil yourself. There's no big shocks or anything at the end, but it just seems to come with a slightly different attitude than many other horror flicks. It's a different type of horror movie that still doesn't stray too far from the norm. A pretty good balance of "slightly different but not too different", it'd probably fit nicely into a horror marathon lineup.
I also like the suggestion of Halloween 3. Not the greatest flick of all time, but one that holds up better on second viewing. (Seriously, the first time I spent the whole movie waiting for Michael to show up, and was disappointed in the end that he never did. But it deserves another chance from fans.) This would be a great choice, though in fact, for some reason right now, I'm in the mood to settle for just about any of the Friday/Halloween higher numbered entries.
Also, I completely LOVE the suggestion for
Sleepaway Camp! Nuff said, bring it on! This is one of my favorite horror films of all time, for SO MANY different reasons! Make it happen!

*It's about high time that Re-Animator and the Evil Dead films made their way back in the lineup. Despite what we the vets might think, there's a whole new generation of Marathoid Mutants who've never seen these flicks on the BIG SCREEN. Jeffrey Combs is a guest that we're always ready to pursue, so we might hold off on his film(s) until we see if he's amenable to coming out. Oh yeah, there's also another landmark splatter film that's celebrating its 20th anniversary this year....hint hint.....
hmm, a hint...
let's see, 20 years old...
Okay, I know exactly what you're talking about, and I'd be totally in favor of showing this at the marathon too.
That said, there's another super awesome horror movie that came out 20 years ago:
Candyman. Show 'em both!
Heck, show the others I mentioned above in this post and I think this would easily be the greatest marathon of all time by a country mile.
