Source: The Columbus Dispatch, OhioJan.迷你倉 23--When she was young, Hope Madden was a scaredy-cat.Then, during a slumber party, she and other 10-year-old girls huddled around a television to watch Motel Hell."Once I lived through that, I was hooked," she said. "It was a way to pretend I was brave."Now 43, Madden loves horror movies -- whether good, bad, campy or vampy.On Friday, she and husband George Wolf, 49, will launch "Fright Club," a monthly horror-show series they helped organize for the Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse.Madden likes everything frightful; Wolf's tastes are a bit more discriminating."I like the good ones; she likes them all," Wolf said. "She likes 'Land of the Giant Caterpillars' and things like that."Madden and Wolf, both media veterans in central Ohio, write for the movie website maddwolf.com. Madden also writes forcolumbusunderground.com, and Wolf works as a midday on-air personality for WNND (103.5/104.3 FM).They also appear in the "Studio 35 Show," short films about happenings at the theater.Studio 35 owner Eric Brembeck proposed the idea of a late-night horror series to the couple."I was super-geeked about it," Madden said. "There are a ton of really good and recent horror films that people never got a chance to see. I pitched that idea."Brembeck had a few requests, such as no foreign films."He said beer (and) late-night (subtitle) reading -- it isn't going to work out," Madden recalled.Madden definitely had some ideas about what would work."I wanted movies that, first of all, nobody would fall asleep in, and I wanted something that would be new to most people that they should have seen because they'll really enjoy it if they're a hor儲存倉or fan."She and her husband drafted a list for Brembeck, who got busy tracking down what can be hard-to-find copies."I have a film buyer," Brembeck said with a laugh. "I made him work a little bit, but he came through."First on the slate will be Severance (2006), a British comedy-thriller starring Danny Dyer and Laura Harris in a story about sales representatives on a team-building exercise that turns into a team-eliminating exercise." Severance has a funny edge to it," Wolf said.Less comical was how the movie inspired a copycat killing in England.According to movie website boxofficemojo.com, Severance generated $5.5 million in global ticket sales but only $137,221 from American theaters."It didn't get wide release," Madden said, "and very few people saw it."Future films on the "Fright Club" lineup include Eden Lake (2008), starring Michael Fassbender, and the Australian movie The Loved Ones (2009), featuring Robin McLeavy.The series will be part of an active late-night schedule at the bar-theater, which also offers " Bad Movie Night"; shadow-cast performances of T he Rocky Horror Picture Show; and "Nite Owl Theatre," starring Fritz Peerenboom."I'm just trying to create another option," Brembeck said. "There's a lot of competition; there's a lot of things to do over the weekend, I want people's thought to be, 'What's going on at the Studio 35?'"We're going to be be open until 2:30 (a.m.), anyway." He said. "Why not give people an option to see something different?"tmikesel@dispatch.comCopyright: ___ (c)2014 The Columbus Dispatch (Columbus, Ohio) Visit The Columbus Dispatch (Columbus, Ohio) at .dispatch.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉最平
