A Brisbane man will celebrate Friday the 13th in style.
Steve and a group of mates will have a 24-hour horror movie marathon next Friday (October 13), starting at midnight and ending at midnight as Friday heads into Saturday.
“We’ve all got the Friday off, and the boys have spent the last week in our Messenger group sorting out what movies to watch,” said Steve. “We all have different tastes: I like old school slashers and long-running franchises, Timbo likes modern ‘Torture Porn’, Macca likes classic Hammer horror, and Davo likes pyschological horror because he’s a soft c**k.”
The crew will narrowed the list down to 12 movies, with a representation of old movies, new ones, and a variety of genres.
“My biggest job was selecting my favourite movies out of big franchises like Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Evil Dead, Child’s Play, Halloween and Hellraiser. Timbo is picking the best from Hostel, Saw, and other fucked up movies. Macca is combing through his favourite Christopher Lee movies. And Davo’s picking whatever wussy crap he likes.”
Though, with a 24-hour marathon likely to takes it toll, the group has drawn up a fair ‘break rule.’
“Everyone can nominate a two-hour period where they take a break: either to have a nap, get some fresh air, or to buy more beer and food, but they need to be back before the two hours is up so the next guy can get ready. It’s going to be a big day, so we need to pace ourselves.”
Everyday News is a brand new general news/parody section of The Gurgler, and definitely not a lame rip-off of ‘The Betoota Advocate’. We swear.
