I'll give it a try without repeating others' guesses.

I Spit on Your Grave

Tough one. Evil Dead has played at a marathon, can't re-use the Feebles, Uwe Boll's House of the Dead is too obvious...

Steven Spielberg's Duel. Crystal Skull similarities: trucks in the desert and, of course, Dennis Weaver surviving a nuke.

Seriously, I got nothing.

Ohioan = Ray Wise = Twin Peaks = director David Lynch = Blue Velvet or Lost Highway

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre '74?! :shock:

As a side clue, I fell asleep during this movie the first time I saw it at a Marathon, although that was more because of the time frame than the quality of the film.


Martin Sheen in David Cronenberg's Stephen King's The Dead Zone.

- Shivers - the clue is "entirely like and entirely unlike his current output."

Ah, my amnesiac friend, but Shivers a.k.a. They Came From Within played the 2nd Annual Night of the Living Drexel. Try again.

HA! Boll's Razzie nominations don't count. Although he was nominated for the Max Ophuls Award. Still, no awards, no acclaim, no dice.

Now that would be interesting.

The Hunger


Didn't know that David Bowie was born in Toledo, now did you?

Didn't he date a Hustler Model? looking for that Larry Flint connection :)

I was trying to guess a movie you fell asleep in :D actually I think you told me this at some point but I can't remember.


Tim, Tim, Tim...how could I ever fall asleep during The Hunger, everyone's favorite Marathon flick? Although maybe I just have a Hunger/Suspiria double feature in my back pocket for this year.

Acclaimed, reviled. Potato, po-tah-to.

(And thank you for no Boll.)

Oh I guess I'll take a stab at it.

Tenebrae?

I'm thinking Peter Jackson as well. Frightners? Bad Taste showed at one of the sci-fi marathons.

Diary of the Dead?

The Silence of the Lambs? (directed by Jonathan Demme)

Note really a shocker, but Army of Darkness? It showed at around 3-4am at one of the earlier marathons that Joe might have been old enough to finally go to :P

Incase anyone wonders how I connected TCM '74 and Something Wild - TCM production manager Ron Bozman was associate producer and 1st A.D. on Something Wild.

I think the first guess on this was correct considering it was booked last year and was only cancelled due to a mix-up on the date.

If I am interpreting this correctly, it is the one which I contributed in part to tracking down the print source, and it has been guessed correctly by someone above.

Everything here points to Philip Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers except for the "never played the Columbus Marathon" part. Unless Joe is referring only to the Horror marathons and not counting it's appearance at the Science Fiction marathon in 1993. (He does use the qualifier "the" instead of "a" like the first two clues, so you never know...)

I think Cody may have gotten this one right. (Joe's not denied it yet). I'm getting more envoius of you guys as we speak, sigh...

The Dead Zone is also a good guess, but Martin Sheen was the supporting role and not the "starring turn." Plus, I think it's apperance at the marathon was before Joe's time, but I could be wrong. Joe has discussed when it all started for him before, but my memory is not perfect.

If you guys are able to snag all those titles, it sounds like a swell night. I wish I could be there.

Hey Joe, let me know if you got my PM.

As for the films in question, I don't have any better guesses than those provided already. You guys always impress.

Wow, now you're analyzing qualifiers. Tres impressive, but the "a" and "the" were meant to refer to the general Columbus Marathon, Science Fiction and Horror. So, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is out. And no, The Dead Zone is also not on the slate for this year. But I'll say no more for now.

We have to get credit for good guesses, though. Don't we?

I really wish there were a "sarcasm" emoticon so people don't think I'm just an overanalyzing, obsessive dork. (Not that I'm not all those things, but still...) That's the problem with cyberspace communication, I guess. I'm also still trying to figure out if the syntactically incorrect repetition of the word "which" in the final clue has any hidden meaning. Hmmm...

I think we can also take this to mean that the one's he is not denying are correct. DING!

Seriously though, Piranha 2 had Lance Henrickson in it! How could anyone say no to that?
