I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning.

The remark presents Tarantino’s cinephilia as a lived, ritual practice rather than a purely professional interest. An “all-night horror marathon” suggests immersion, endurance, and a deliberately curated encounter with genre cinema—horror as a communal, time-bound event with its own rules and pleasures. It also hints at how his filmmaking sensibility is fed by sustained viewing: long stretches of movies that sharpen taste, deepen knowledge of conventions, and encourage playful recombination of tropes. The specificity of the schedule (7 p.m. to 5 a.m.) underscores discipline and devotion, framing genre consumption as both recreation and informal apprenticeship.
