THIS YEAR IS OUR TENTH ANNIVERSARY
You have been warned. Due to our old sponsor being too scared to support us, we're going to have to do it all on our own.
Which means we need your support. Bring as many friends along as you can this year. We will be selling tickets in advance to the (possibly) LAST 24Hr Movie Marathon ever. Now you don't want to miss out on that do you?

VERY HAIRY
The hairy guy showed up last year in an attempt to break the audiences collective will. He succeeded easily. They were jelly from that point on. The question on every marathoner's lips is this - Will he make another shocking appearance for 2008? Only time will tell.

THE RUINS
The nasty lil gem of a horror film is the only film being announced for this years marathon. THE RUINS was slated for a video only release but Paramount have allowed us to present the only 35mm cinema screening in New Zealand.
Anyone who has read Scott (A Simple Plan) Smith's brutal novel should know what to expect. To the rest of you we implore that you avoid reading up on the film and don't rent the DVD which hits shops on Dec 3. Rent it again after the screening!
The reason why this flick bypassed a theatrical release here was because it didn't perform in the US and dark horror films traditionally don't perform well in NZ.
Their loss is our gain methinks!

BIG BABIES
This year and against all we stand for, we are offering a 'Big Baby' ticket for those who cannot handle the full 24 hour experience.
These babies can buy a ticket for half price of $25 from Ticketek but can only come from anytime after 8am on the Sunday to closing time at 4pm.
Holders of the Big Baby ticket may have to wear a diaper and bib.

ONE MONTH TO GO
Have you got your ticket yet?
At this stage we cannot confirm nor deny the rumour going around that the 4+hr version of HEAVENS GATE will be playing at 3am.
or this..

Ninth Annual 24 Hour "V" Movie Marathon
Get your freak on. The 2008 Marathon is shaping up to be one legendary event. If you haven't got your tickets from Ticketek then do so now. Click image below.
At this stage we're just focusing on mysteries from the vault and haven't even though about what new films maybe available. This is mainly because the studio films can change their release dates quite often. However because we're not going to be around Halloween this year, it does mean that we possibly won't have any new horror to hit you with. We'll just have to find some old school terror to make up for that.
There will be some obscure films being screened on 35mm for the first time in decades. You won't find this stuff anywhere - we're playing the only existing prints of films in the world. And afterwards we'll be destroying the only prints so no one will ever see them again. Death to DVD.
So if you don't see it this year - you will never see it again in a cinema.
Jump on our Facebook page and join up to keep up to date but also to suggest any films you might want to see.
Stay Tuned.. more to come.
