Original paste-up of teaser/poster for 2001 Marathon220 viewsThis design was produced as a limited amount of fliers, and also as a poster that hung in the Studio 35 lobby.
Original paste-up of ad for 2001 Marathon246 viewsSo here's a head-scratcher. When I was pulling materials from my archive for this online archive, I came upon this ad paste-up. I remember making it, but I have no idea what publication it was for. I'm assuming that it was for our sponsor, the Columbus Alive, but I have no clearer memory. Anyone? (Neff)

*Our print of ROSEMARY'S BABY was newly struck by Paramount, making us the first audience to see it. (Neff)
Interior of 2001 program330 views*At the time, Kathy Saunders was a veteran member of the ROCKY HORROR cast, which had settled into a regular run at Studio 35. Her husband, Mike, appeared as the dead body at the top of the stairs in NIGHT OF THE LIVING BREAD.
*THE TEENAGE UFO PSYCHO MONSTER SEX SHOW was a 90-minute trailer compilation from Hollywood sleaze maven Johnny Legend, which had been touring the West Coast fora few months. Johnny pitched it to me as "the history of Western civilization", everything from a Warner Brothers cartoon to rare exploitation trailers. I didn't realize that some of those trailers featured (ahem) nudity, so there were a few shocked reactions during this dinner hour screening. One woman scolded me with "I didn't come to a Horror Marathon to see sex and nudity!" Let the irony roll. In any case, one of the highlights of the screening for me was standing in the back of the theater with Weird Love Maker Mark Gunderson when the trailer for THE WEIRD LOVE MAKERS unexpectedly hit the screen. You can't script moments like that, folks. (Neff)

Interior of 2001 program221 views*Boy, what a (ahem) diverse cast for THE CONVENT. It had been playing the circuit for a few months and had been getting fairly good notices. The end result was a bit spotty, to say the least, but it was good fun nonetheless.
*SESSION 9 was well-received by the audience, and it remains one of my favorite Marathon premieres. Brad Anderson would strike again with the 2002 Sci-Fi Marathon screening of his HAPPY ACCIDENTS. (Neff)
