Music Box of Horrors 2025 – Sold Out!

by in Movie Events and tagged , , , , , | Leave a comment

The date has been announced for this year’s Music Box of Horrors and tickets went on sale 2 day ago. And in a little over 24 hours, it has SOLD OUT!?!?!? Unbelievable. I meant to post this earlier but had no clue it would sell out that fast. I guess that really shows how big of an event these marathons have been. I’m so happy to see the support for these kinds of events, because that makes sure they continue to keep doing them!

The date is October 18th, starting as usual at 12pm and going to until 12pm on Sunday!

They have already announced 3 titles so far. The first two are Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) and Jason X (2001), both screening from 35mm prints. Now I will say that I feel that Jason X is one of the best entries in the series! If you happen to disagree, we can discuss more during the marathon! Plus, one that I am very excited to see is Lemora: A Child’s Tale of the Supernatural (1973), screening from a 16mm print! If you haven’t seen this low budget chiller, you will be amazed at how creepy and effective it is, starring a very young Cheryl “Rainbeaux” Smith.

Rosanna Norton – Rest in Peace

I had every intention of posting this several days ago, but life has a tendency to get in the way. But wanted to make sure I did get it posted, even if it’s a little late. Rosanna Norton is a name that few of us horror fans might know. She was a costume designer and had passed away on May 7th, at the age of 80 years old. She had gone to UCLA as a painting major but got into costume design. After she retired from film, she went back to her love of painting.

When I saw the news of her passing, it made me realize there yet another part of the filmmaking process that tends to get very little credit from fans. Sure, there is an Oscar category for it, which Norton got a co-nomination for her work on Tron (1982). But as deviant cinephiles, where we often recognize the cinematography, the makeup effects, the story, and of course the direction and acting, but how many times have we brought up costumes in those conversations.
