The Ohio Sci-Fi and Horror Marathons

Any word on if there's even going to be a horror marathon this year?

It's still a bit early. I'm starting to wonder if the message on the Drexel's website that the Film Forum will be back on Thursday August 8th wasn't a typo. The next Thursday August 8th is actually 2013.

I've spoken with Bruce several times, and we're tentatively planning something for Saturday October 20th. Hopefully, we'll have more solid info in the next few weeks. Those enough qualifiers for ya?

A friend of mine sent me a link about another horror marathon the week before in Yellow Springs.

Thanks for plugging the Little Art Theater Marathon, Dennis. Zach McGhee, one of the organizers, contacted me about this a few weeks back, and I've forgotten to plug his event until now. Zach came up through the ranks of the Columbus Marathons, so I'm sure the audience will be in good hands. I'm thinking about making the trek out that weekend, so I'll keep everyone posted if I hear any more info.

Good to hear that the marathon is in the planning stages, Joe. I look forward to more news as it arrives!

Mainstream yes, but a damn good lineup in any case IMHO. Have to see if I can make it to this one.

Sounds like a fun marathon but I can't go, Wednesday 13 is in Cambridge on the 12th and in Cincy on the 13th and I can't resist back to back Wednesday 13 concerts (and yes we are going to the Wednesday 13 concert on the 10th in Cleveland also) 3 Wednesday 13 concerts in 4 days

As for that other marathon, holy frack, that's an awesome lineup!

Good news! Hoping to do back to back horror marathon weekends!
