We’re screening cult favourite The Babadook as part of a special evening, ‘The Horror of Childhood’ with the University of Leicester.
Dr Jessica Urwin and Laurie Parsons will introduce the film to discuss the inherent uncanniness of childhood, why we fear children, and why horror is the perfect genre to explore our own pasts.
All attendees receive a copy of an exclusive event zine, and with a post screening Q&A, this is the perfect way to gear up for Halloween!
FREE screening!
