IT’S…
SHOCK AROUND
THE CLOCK
The 5th Annual Ohio 24-Hour Horror Marathon
AT
THE DREXEL THEATER
(2254 E. MAIN ST./COLUMBUS, OHIO)
NOON, OCTOBER 26-NOON OCTOBER 27
Once again, the annual terror tradition, the place where your nightmares come true, the celebration of cinematic excess is back for another fright-filled rotation of the planet. And for the first time since 1994, the 24-Hour Horror and Science Fiction Marathons are back under the same roof! There's no more room in Hell, so the dead will walk the Drexel!
As part of this year’s fearful festivities, we’re thrilled to announce the resurrection of the Drexel's 35mm projector, as we expand our viewing palate to include the phantasmagoric delights of both film and digital offerings!
And what a splatterific slate of offerings we have! This year’s film lineup features:
*JUST ADDED!!! A 35mm screening of Park Chan-wook's brilliantly gonzo vampire epic THIRST!
*Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi and Claude Rains in a 2K DCP screening of the 1941 Universal Studios classic THE WOLF MAN!
*A rare 35mm screening of Dario Argento’s shattering masterpiece of atmospheric horror SUSPIRIA!
*Max von Sydow, Ellen Burstyn, Jason Miller and (of course) Linda Blair in a 40th Anniversary 2K DCP screening of William Friedkin’s boundary smashing modern classic THE EXORCIST!
*The haunting, dreamlike cult classic PHANTASM (in 35mm)!
*The ultimate Aztec lizard monster attacks New York experience with a 35mm screening of Larry Cohen’s Q: THE WINGED SERPENT!
*The bizarre feline frenzy of NIGHT OF 1000 CATS (in 35mm)!
*Tony Todd as the titular man of your nightmares in a 35mm screening of Clive Barker’s CANDYMAN!
*Roddy McDowell and William Ragsdale hunting suave bloodsucker Chris Sarandon in a 2K DCP screening of the modern vampire classic FRIGHT NIGHT!
*Heavy metal and Satanism run amok in the 1986 campfest TRICK OR TREAT (in 35mm)!
*Rob Zombie’s stunning, psychedelic horror freakout THE LORDS OF SALEM (in 2K DCP)!
*The Joss Whedon-penned, ultimate spam in a cabin horror/satire THE CABIN IN THE WOODS (in 2K DCP)!
In addition to this splatterific slate of films, one or two premieres may be added or substituted into the lineup.
