Paste-up for 1999 Marathon t-shirt465 views*This was the first Marathon t-shirt I ever designed. Even though I considered it about half-successful in artistic terms, it sold out in the first half of the event. Subsequent t-shirts (which I considered to be much more artistically successful) often struggled to sell out. So goes the fickle finger of fate.
*The back of the shirt featured the slimy skull artwork from SQUIRM, and the tag line "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the Studio." This was, of course, a nod to the iconic line from DAWN OF THE DEAD. However, it was also a tip o' the skull cap to Bruce's past work, as he had included the same line (with "Drexel" in place of "Studio") on the flier for the 1st NIGHT OF THE LIVING DREXEL 24-Hour Horror Marathon.(Neff)
Bruce Campbell appearance info flier/original past-up sheet465 viewsAs part of entering the Bruce Campbell business, we were given a set of restrictions for the autograph signing by the man himself. These restrictions included the infamous "only official Bruce Campbell merchandise will be signed" edict. Sheesh. Thus, we gave this mini-flier to every ticket buyer upon purchase of their pass.

Punk Couple Conquers Costume Contest456 viewsThe gent on the left (Ralph Parker) won this year's costume contest dressed as Alex from A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. His companion placed in the money with her ace Frankenhooker duds. They would reappear at the next year's Marathon as ROCKY HORROR's Frank N. Furter and Carrie White, although neither would finish in the top three. Parker would later team up with his friend Syd Keeney to win the 1993 NOTLD costume contest as Herbert West and Dr. Hill's head from RE-ANIMATOR.(Neff)
