Little Art Announces Fifth and Final All-night Horror Movie Marathon

The Little Art Theatre is pleased to announce its fifth and final all-night Halloween horror movie marathon. The marathon begins at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, October 22, 2011. (Doors open at 9 p.m.)

Tickets for the marathon are $20 each. To buy tickets or to learn more information about the films, the schedule, our costume contest, concession offerings, and why this will most likely be the Little Art's final horror movie marathon, visit http://horrorfest.littleart.com. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Little Art box office the night of the event.

This year's horror marathon will once again showcase seven feature films, including rare 35mm screenings of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" and "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein," as well as pristine, high-def digital presentations of Ridley Scott's director's cut of "Alien" and Blue Underground's newly restored edition of Lucio Fulci's "Zombie."

The marathon lineup also includes three area premieres: "Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil" is a hilarious, gory, good-spirited horror comedy, doing for killer rednecks what "Shaun of the Dead" did for zombies. The British import "Attack the Block" is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. Finally, "The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence" will conclude the marathon, so patrons can enjoy all the other films without feeling obligated to endure this one.

There will be a costume contest at about 11:30 p.m. The winner will be determined by audience applause. Contest prizes include posters and DVDs. At least 50 classic and contemporary horror trailers will also be shown throughout the evening.

The Little Art Theatre in Yellow Springs is a nonprofit cinema showcasing the best in contemporary and classic film. More information about the theater can be found at littleart.com or by phone at 937.767.7671.
