A Marathon Session

The marathon movie event is a thing of the past. But don’t tell that to the folks at Cleveland Cinemas. Today, they launch what they hope will be an annual event with 12 Hours of Terrible, a marathon movie event for “those brave enough to attend to sit through cinematic missteps.” The bill includes the arm-wrestling truck driver flick Over the Top, Ed Wood’s campy classic Plan 9 From Outer Space, the Nicolas Cage caper Drive Angry 3-D and M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening. “I always say that a bad movie can be just as entertaining as a good movie, as long as it’s the right kind of bad movie,” says Dave Huffman, Cleveland Cinemas Director of Marketing and Late Shift series programmer, in a press release. “Our annual horror marathon the 12 Hours of Terror at the Capitol Theatre, leaves people on the edges of their seats. The 12 Hours of Terrible should have them rolling in the aisles.” Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 day of show. Audience members who make it through the entire night will receive $5 back at the end of the marathon as Cleveland Cinemas’ way of saying sorry. The event starts at 6 p.m. (Niesel)
