Little Art all-night horror marathon to feature seven films

The Little Art Theatre is pleased to announce its third annual all-night Halloween horror movie marathon. The marathon begins at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, October 24, 2009. (Doors open at 9 p.m.)

This year's horror marathon will showcase seven feature films, including rare 35mm screenings of Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS, Roman Polanski's REPULSION, and the '80s cult classic NIGHT OF THE CREEPS.

Also in the lineup is the area premiere of Ti West's much-anticipated THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL (also from 35mm), the contemporary favorite SHAUN OF THE DEAD, Sean Cunningham's original FRIDAY THE 13TH, and George Romero's masterpiece NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.

There will be a costume contest at about 1:30 a.m. where the winner will be determined by audience applause. Contest prizes include posters and DVDs. A variety of classic and contemporary trailers will also be shown throughout the evening.

Tickets for the marathon are $20 each, and are on sale now at http://www.ohiohorrorfest.com. Beginning October 2, tickets can also be purchased in person at the Little Art box office.
