Monster Fest Friday the 13th Marathon
A 10 hour horror endurance test that only the most dedicated gore-hounds will survive.
Overview
Ki-ki-ki, ma-ma-ma. The terror of Crystal Lake will stalk the aisles at Cinema Nova in an all-night movie marathon with one hell of a body count. In the centrepiece event of Monster Fest 2014, watch slasher movie icon Jason Voorhees carve his way through a swathe of unsuspecting camp councillors in a 10+ hour horror endurance test that only the most dedicated gore-hounds will survive.
It's difficult to defend the objective "quality" of the Friday the 13th franchise, one that began its life as a blatant Halloween knock-off and quickly descended into unintentional self-parody. And frankly, that's why we love it. Unconcerned with things like character motivation or internal logic, Mr Voorhees can instead hone in on the one thing that ticket holders really want to see: ludicrous bodily dismemberment.
Starting at 11.15pm on Friday, November 28, The Monster Fest marathon features the first eight films in the franchise, concluding with the hilariously awful Jason Takes Manhattan. The one flaw in the program is that they cut it just short of number ten, aka The One Where Jason Goes to Space.
