The Ohio Sci-Fi and Horror Marathons

Dammit Joe! Now I can't start a flame war over the potential line up...FML (sigh)...

This lineup is absolutely phenomenal, and kudos to everyone who put it together. I bought my tickets as soon as it was announced. I've wanted to see four of these titles on a big screen for ages. And while I'm one who usually isn't very excited about the premieres, this year I'm even eager to see the newer stuff.
Great job assembling a sensational list of movies. (And please feel free to follow through with that grindhouse marathon anytime!)

Just to clarify, if you're asking if the order posted reflected the schedule, as I understand it, it does not. It's just a list of the movies that will be played, not the order they'll be played in necessarily.

Thanks for the info! I never knew that, and I will definitely be using it...

And here's a positive review of Housebound (third review down):

Ahhh, gotcha...That's what I was wondering, that I didn't clarify...nevertheless, the order mentioned in the FB thread is still pretty damn good, should that be the route they go.

I want to see THE SATANIST.

But, before people get too excited, here's a recent review from someone who just saw it in Philly when it played for the first time in decades:

Some of the quotes:

"What I had hoped would be a forgotten horror movie turned out to be one long exercise in watching women with fake eyebrows undress."

"...the audience began fidgeting in their seats five minutes into the movie."

That's unfortunate. However, it should be an interesting experience anyway. If it's that bad, the audience will no doubt rise up and make fun of it Automatons-style. Still hoping for the best though...

Too bad that getting actual premieres are a thing of the past. Housebound will be available on Video On Demand on October 17th. Anyone in the Columbus metro area can order it, watch it, and can skip it at the Horror Marathon.

Housebound does look good. Calling it a premiere is stretching it.

After watching the region 2 DVD of the critically panned Strange Color of Your Body Tears is basically a pretentious art house movie masquerading as a horror movie.

I think this could be one of the best years yet. A lot of movies I haven't seen will force me to stay awake to catch them all. Nice to see the entertaining forum arguments haven't ended.
