The Ohio Sci-Fi and Horror Marathons

Yea lol i got a kick out of her going up to anyone that seemed to be "under the influence of small pieces of paper" and just messing with them in character...

If i recall right did she not say she was from the beechwald area where The Drexel North was?

I love me some "Curse of the Demon" as an understated masterpeice of the genre but "The Car"...Hellz YEAH! It's the apotheosis of both the "car from hell" micro-genre and James Brolin's career.

This film could a great addition to a marathon. On a somewhat similar note (southwestern USA nercromantic auto chases), "Race with the Devil" would be great, too.

Hello NYC-Jambo, Not sure if we have met or not but you have great taste in movies, this list is almost perfect see my list below:

My List:

Ghost and Mr.Chicken
The Old Dark House (Original or William Castle Version)
Trick or Treat (Hell yes Josh)
Rock and Roll Nightmare (Thor RULES)
The Beyond
Horror of Dracula
Session 9 (instead of "don't look now" which I also liked)
The Haunting (1963)
Tombs of the Blind Dead
Masque of Red Death (or any Vincent Price movie)
Dead Snow (I love "The Fog" but the 'thon needs something new)
Pieces (or any great slasher film)
Halloween (John Carpenter's)

Thanks, Usinoh. Although I've been lurking on the marathon forum since it was at studio 35, occasionally popping up to recommend films, I don't think we've met. My gf and I went to every marathon when I was in Columbus for law school a OSU from 2002-05, but haven't made any since moving back east. Work permitting, we really hope to fly back for this one.

I never saw the Castle version of Old Dark House--to me, Whale's original is such a horrifically pitch-perfect, grotesque comedy of manners that it really cannot be topped...

But RnR Nightmare. Such genius. We rented that back in 2001 as undergrads, and then were so amazed by it, we showed it to my gf's housemates. They then showed it to their friends. Within 24 hours, about 30 people came down to the house to watch the genius of Thor (particularly the last epic puppet v. thor battle sequence). We then offered the video store 35 bucks to buy it; he refused.

I just discovered the glory of ROCK AND ROLL NIGHTMARE last year. It is, indeed, a ton of fun.

As for MOTHER OF TEARS: only show that if you want Argento fans to cry. Wow, was it bad.

I'm an Argento fan and thought the movie was fine. It was gory, fast-paced (for him), insane, and stylish. Not his best work, but easily the best movie he's made since The Stendahl Syndrome. You want fans to cry, show them his Phantom of the Opera.

I've never understood the hatred for this film. It doesn't make sense, the acting is terrible, the ending is rushed and goofy: how is this different from his "classics". None of his movies make much sense and they all have terrible acting. What were these people expecting?!!! It had good cinematography (though it could have been more stylish) and a good score. Seriously, why is this a steaming pile, but Suspiria, Inferno, and Phenomena considered classics by the same people? There's a lot of hatin' going on here.
