Beyond space! Beyond time! Beyond sleep! It’s…The 29th Annual 24-Hour Ohio Science Fiction Marathon from Noon Saturday May 19th until Noon Sunday May 20th at the Drexel Theatre!

Blast off into the future and claim your chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure! Yes, it’s time to rejoin the Marathon faithful for an entire rotation of the planet, a celluloid-drenched journey filled to the brim with classic space operas, cult rediscoveries, short subjects and trailers for coming attractions both past, present and future!

For more than 25 of your "Earth years", the Science Fiction Marathon has been the premiere event of its kind in the Midwest, offering a consistently diverse slate of filmic delights. This year should prove to be no different, as we unleash a dizzying array of titles, including:

*A tribute to the ultra-prolific Japanese director Kinji Fukasaku, featuring his controversial, long banned on these shores 2000 epic BATTLE ROYALE and the rarely screened, psychedelically candy-colored 1968 monsterfest THE GREEN SLIME!

*Wrestling legend “Rowdy” Roddy Piper in John Carpenter’s oft-requested “just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not after you” actioner THEY LIVE!

*Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood (in her final screen role) in Douglas Trumbull’s visionary virtual reality mindbender BRAINSTORM!

*A rare starring role for the Danish military(!) in 1961’s giant reptile extravaganza REPTILICUS!

*Aliens vs. teen thugs in 2011’s cult hit ATTACK THE BLOCK!

*Electro-pioneers Daft Punk in their surreal 2006 feature debut ELECTROMA!

*Hunky Jake Gyllenhaal in Duncan (MOON) Jones’s time travel thriller SOURCE CODE!

In addition, 2 Ohio premieres have been added to the lineup with possibly another to follow.

Keep you rayguns cocked, your space helmets polished and your eyes glued to this site for stimulating discussion of all things Marathoid on our forum, and for all the latest updates.

The Sci-Fi Marathon is an entire spin of our planet watching science fiction features, premieres, over-looked gems, vintage trash and classics, along with cartoons, shorts and previews of coming attractions from years gone by. Hundreds of prizes are awarded to all winners and entrants in the Annual Costume Contest, as well as other contests and competitions at random. Those who survive the entire 24 hours will also receive the much coveted chrome Certificate of Marathoid Behavior to impress their friends. The devoted, demented Marathoid throng will return from far and wide to experience this year's 'thon. The communal comaraderie of this audience often makes the unbearable hilarious and the great even more glorious. Surviving the sleep-deprived ordeal with this crazed crowd brings us together in delightful, bizarre, and unexpected ways.
