Curses! I have plans for that weekend already. The Incredible 2 Headed Marathon is fantastic and not just because of the movies screened — the atmosphere, the people who attend and the clear, unwavering love of the genre shared by all involved are worth the entry fee. The costume contest was hilarious last year and there is nothing like watching true, bloody horror movies with a room full of people laughing at the sheer obsurdity of it all. Man, I wish I could go!By Barb

Ugh. Have you ever seen The Brood? I had to watch it in a film class at Wright State. It was very odd and somewhat gross. Not what I would consider a classic, but I am not a fan of horror films. I go for suspense, not horror or slasher.
