Next month, on Friday the 13th, starting at noon, the Music Box Theatre will be holding a Friday the 13th marathon, screening the first 8 films, back-to-back! That even includes part 3 in 3-D!!! Doors open at 11am, and the first film starts at noon, going all the way until about 2am or so. There will be horror vendors, themed drinks in the lounge for the occasion, with trivia and prizes between each film! The price for all this madness is only $25! That’s a little over $3 per movie!
When I first heard about this event, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be a vendor there or actually sit and watch all the films! But we’ll be at the HorrorHound Weekend in Cincinnati that weekend so we will not be able to attend in either capacity. But if you’re in town, and even the slightest Friday the 13th film, this is your chance to see the first 8 in the series on the big screen, like they were meant to be seen! Below are the times for the individual titles. For all the info, just click HERE to get to the theatre’s event page.

At my very first horror convention, back in April of 1988, John Carl Buechler was there. He had brought two of his creations with him, Jason from Friday the 13th Part 7 (1988)and the beast from Cellar Dweller (1986), which you could see from across the room because it was so tall. I still have the black and white still of that creature on it that Buechler graciously signed for me. He was so friendly and approachable. He had worked on so many movies that I devoured in the ’80s, from Ghoulies (1984), Re-Animator (1985), Crawlspace (1986), From Beyond (1986), Dolls (1987), Bride of Re-Animator (1989), to even the more recent Hatchet (2006). I still think the look he created for Jason in the entry, that he even directed, is still the best looking ever created on film.
