Organisers Purchase Adult Diapers For Upcoming Movie Marathon

The Southern Hemisphere's only 24 Hour Movie Marathon celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and advance hype* promises it to be one of the greatest cinematic experiences the world has ever known.

The annual 24 Hour Movie Marathon offers adventurous cinemagoers a diverse mix of Blockbuster Premieres alongside extremely rare titles from vaults around the globe. Veteran movie impresario and organiser Ant Timpson has declared war on the minds of all those who attend this year, threatening to go all out to break those who attend.

"This is the tenth year. So let me put this as delicately as I can. I am going to skull [deleted] them until they drool more than Stephen Hawking. They will arrive fresh in October and leave shell-shocked in November. I am taking their souls hostage on a once-in-a-lifetime journey through several misunderstood genres of cinema".

"This year the event is backed by Vendetta Films, a fantastic distributor who are supplying us with a killer premiere that is perfect for Halloween. Last year the Spanish horror hit REC premiered at the film festival which resulted in one customer excreting themselves in sheer terror. This year we've got the sequel REC 2 and will be offering adult diapers for those who feel they may require some sanitary assurance in getting through the terrifying film"
