Change in Horror Fest schedule/offerings

The Little Art Theatre announced today that a rare 35mm print of Stuart Gordon's 1985 cult classic, RE-ANIMATOR, will be added to the lineup of its third annual all-night Horror Marathon. The event starts at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 24. (Doors open at 9 p.m.)

RE-ANIMATOR completes the marathon's lineup after NIGHT OF THE CREEPS was suddenly canceled due to print availability issues. "Unfortunately this kind of thing happens every now and then," said Zack McGhee, who organizes the event for the Little Art Theatre. "But I think we've found a pretty awesome substitute. RE-ANIMATOR has quite a following, and it will be great to see it with our audience, in 35mm, on the big screen."

A revised schedule is available at the event website: http://www.ohiohorrorfest.com

Tickets for the marathon are $20 each and are on sale now at the website. Patrons who have already bought tickets were notified of the change via email, and are eligible for a full refund should they decide to request one.

In addition to RE-ANIMATOR, films showing at this year's marathon are Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS (1963), THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL (2009, area premiere), SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004), Roman Polanski's REPULSION (1964), FRIDAY THE 13TH (1980), and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968).

Also part of the marathon festivities, 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.

The Little Art Theatre is located at 247 Xenia Ave., Yellow Springs, OH 45387. For more information, please call (937) 767-7671 or email zack@littleart.com.
