1994.
Remember that year? More importantly, remember this Columbus Dispatch article that a 17-year old me haphazardly sliced up for his scrapbook?
"Hey Joe!" some of you are saying. "I wasn't even BORN in 1994, ya ungracefully aging hipster!"
Fair enough. Now get offa my lawn.
But before you do that, stay for a sec. Because 1994 holds a special, somewhat melancholy place in the hearts of many veteran Nightmarathoids. For that 7th edition of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DREXEL would prove to be the final time a Drexel theater (in that case, the dear, departed Drexel North) would host a 24-hour Horror Marathon.
Well, that's about to change.
That's right: we've partnered with the Drexel to bring the 5th Annual SHOCK AROUND THE CLOCK to their historic theater in Bexley, on October 26th and 27th. And this is the full strength version, 24 hours worth of everything you've come to love about the event...and some new perks as well. More about those in the coming days.
Just know this: Bruce and I are really excited about this partnership. We've been discussing it with the Drexel for several months, and they're more than excited to let us run our show the right way.
We'll be announcing an almost complete film lineup in a few days, but in the meantime, the big info is that
