For my money the original cut (Romero's preferred cut, btw) is the one to watch. It's tighter than the Cannes edit and the music flows the smoothest.

24 hours straight. You can only break for quick snacks and a trip to relieve your gallons of soda and coffee needed to keep you awake.
Who's with me?

You know, I lived there for 3 years and I don't think I ever had the popcorn. I like McDonalds a whole lot better. It may have changed but when I was there they had new sandwiches every month and points cards for stuff. I ended up getting a couple McDonalds clocks.

Like 24, you see. :P
I am going to try to do themes from now until the 21st. Just did Carpenter. Starting Craven and next I think it will be B-movies. Any theme suggestions would be great.
Nearly over, folks!

Here's a general question:
If you guys start a film at 11pm and it ends at, say, 1230am what day to you count it for. The time it started, the time it ends or do you fluctuate?

I don't think it matters at all where you put a movie that you watch over the midnight hour, as long as you only count it once.
The only times that really matter are the October 1st beginning and October 31st ending midnights.
Personally, I put the movie on the 24 hour period that I finish watching it.

I don't think we were ever strict about ending on time. Last year we even got a few bonus hours on the last day. I always count movies in the day I start them.

Gonna check out TCM's zombie-fest tomorrow. A bunch of the selections are horror-comedies, but I wanna see them anyway.
There's also an hour-long documentary on Starz premiering tomorrow night, Bloodsucking Cinema.

I'm actually having a few friends (and one very annoying co-worker who's a friend of a friend) over this weekend to have a marathon comprised mostly of Carpenter, Cronenberg, and Bava flicks. Although, it'll probably be more of a mini-marathon as I seriously doubt those guys will last 12 hours...if that.

Well, welcome to the insanity if you do join on in Chad.
I'm going to practice a bit (although not the full 24 hours) starting tonight with my B movies.

The only Monster Mash Ups I liked were A&C Meet Frankenstein and Monster Squad
