*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)

ROSEMARY'S was the opener, and I'd been planning to screen CARRIE as the closer, so some adjustment were made. This led to Joe Bob chiding me in front of the audience for closing the fest with BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, although I let the audience in on why BUFFY had to be re-slotted. (Neff)
Other Paper post-Marathon article for 2002 event678 viewsFor my money, this was the best article written about the Studio 35 Marathons. It perfectly captured the ebb and flow of sitting in a theater for 24 hours, and was entertaining to boot. Author Rob Harvilla now writes for The Village Voice. (Neff)
