Deborah Hyde, Jessica Monteith, and Owen Davies introduce us to the myth and the reality regarding some of the most horrific creatures imaginable. A skeptical inquiry into some of the most terrifying creatures imaginable. Come and be terrified and informed.
The modern vampire is suave debonair and sexy instead of pestilence ridden and undead. What does this drastic modern re-interpretation say about the culture of the twenty-first century audience? The werewolf is a common horror motif but what happened when people were accused of “lycanthropy†in the sixteenth and seventeenth century and who was worse man or beast? Why and how are people still accused, abused and murdered in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries as witches.
