The Ohio Sci-Fi and Horror Marathons

I just received an email from The Little Art theater in Yellow Springs, OH. They are resurrecting their 12 hr Horror Movie Marathon this October 24th after a 2 year hiatus! They recently did a full renovation & the theater has been fully updated including seats & digital projection!

It is the weekend after the Shock Around the Clock! I will be there!


Hello, everyone...

Save the date! Our all-night horror movie marathon will return this year, and we wanted you to be the first to know. The event starts Friday, October 24 at 9:30 p.m. (Doors will open at 9 p.m.)

Titles will include A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (celebrating 30 years of Freddy!), a 30th anniversary screening of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, and Joe Dante's The Howling.

This will be the first marathon in our recently renovated theatre, with new seats, an expanded lobby, and pristine digital projection.

More event details and tickets will be available soon.

Hope to see you there!

They usually do 6-7 films, those are just the first 3 announced so far.

This is great news. I'll have to check out of there is a Megabus that goes to Yellow Springs.

Probably doing it because Epic Con in Dayton is that weekend. Lots of big guests and events.

Horrorama Dayton is also that same weekend. Yet another weekend full of choices and marathons.

They had done a 12 hr horror marathon from 2007-2011 but due to funding issues, were unable to the last 2 years. I don't know if it is just because of the Dayton Con. Sounds like fun either way!

Horrorama Dayton is showing Rawhead Rex this year!

Yeah,talked to the Little Art and everything will be digitally presented. The 35mm was taken out awhile back. Still with 2 marathons and a cool and big convention in the area of Dayton/Yellow Springs,it should make for a nice horror filled weekend over there.

Yeah, when they did the full renovations over the last 2 years, they had to move up to digital to stay alive. Sadly, they were unable to also keep the 35mm.

I really want to see Rawhead Rex on the big screen at Dayton Horrorama, but Little Art's lineup so far are 3 of my favorite all times.

NOES 3: Dream Warriors
FT13: The Final Chapter
The Howling

The Little Art's a good theater and a good time. I might try to get down for this one.

Hopefully the expanded lobby will have a bit more by way of concessions. The place was really tiny before. It makes it a little difficult, because they roll up the sidewalks in Yellow Springs around 9:00 and it's an awful long way to Young's Dairy.

Should be a great time at any rate.

From The Little Art Theater's Facebook post:

Six of seven films confirmed (in no particular order): NOES 3, Friday IV, The Howling, Tremors, The Funhouse, and Maximum Overdrive. What will the last one be?!


AWESOME Lineup!

WOW I have been requesting The Funhouse for our marathon for years. Tobe Hooper at his best.

Sleepaway Camp is the 7th film!

Just got my ticket ordered! If you want to go, buy early, the theater is nowhere near as big as The Drexel.
