Like the last few years, I won't be able to attend the Columbus marathon as much as I'd love to see everyone and enjoy the trailers and premieres. But as has become a tradition now, Chicago has 2 marathons I'll be attending which takes some of the pressure off of staying awake all night for both.
The first one is at the beautiful 700 seat Music Box Theater and will be mostly celluloid projection. They are going heavy on grindhouse this year with a line up that includes:
Street Trash
Torso
Dr. Butcher MD
Raw Meat
Popcorn
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (16mm)
Eyes of Fire
Eye of the Cat
Seven Footprints to Satan
Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein
More TBD
I'm more excited for this one because I love 35mm and other than Halloween 3 and Street Trash I haven't watched most of these repeatedly like the second marathon. And I haven't even seen three of the titles once.
The second one is October 22-23rd and is all digital but quality digital projection that a 35mm enthusiast like myself can appreciate.
Line up so far is:
DR. PYCKLE & MR. PRIDE (Stan Laurel Silent film with live
organ by The Phantom)
HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr.)
