The Christmas Trash TV Marathon

Overview

Purveyors of all things creepy and cultish on the big screen and the small, you'll be happy to know Cinemaniacs are presenting a yuletide celebration unlike any other. Taking place this Saturday at Loop Bar in the CBD, The Christmas Trash TV Marathon is an ode to the best worst holiday specials, cartoons, music videos, toy commercials and general Christmas-themed crap.

Unlike most events of this nature, however, viewers don't pay to get in. Instead, they pay to get out. See, the organiser's figure most people won't be able to cope with this much terrible retro television — and to be honest, they're probably right. Your time of entry will be written on your hand, and the amount you end up paying will depend on how long you last. Assuming you survive the whole six hours of secret programming, the event will only cost you five bucks. Well, that and your sanity. If you do need to step out for a moment, that's fine — just as long as you don't mind being handcuffed to an attendant.
