This sounds like fun. The 24 Hour Ohio Sci-Fi Marathon.
And the same folks also hold a 24 hour horror marathon every year before (duh!) Halloween.
I wonder if adequate interest is out there for similar marathons to be held here? Do we have enough sci-fi/horror hardcore types in this state who would dress up in costumes and stay from 12 noon Saturday to 12 noon Sunday in a theater watching 12 or 13 flicks, interspersed with brief intermissions, movie trailers, costume judging, trivia contests, and guest speakers?
BTW, 24 hour movie marathons are not for the faint of heart. If you are merely a casual fan of either movie genre, you will start getting restless or falling asleep by the middle of the 3rd film. And by the 4th or 5th film, you'll be leaving the theater bored out of your mind and thoroughly sick of the whole thing.
For thosemasochists afficionados who think they could make it through an all-day marathon, what would be your proposed 12 movie lineup for a horror and a sci-fi marathon? What would be your choice of theater location? And what kind of special amenities would you need in order to successfully make it through 24 hours w/o leaving the theater? (i.e. greater variety of concession food, a movie marathon finisher's shirt as incentive, etc.)
