Scooby-dooby-do come and check out this unique talk with folklorist, author (Telling the Bees, Dark Folklore), and host of The Folklore Podcast, Mark Norman.
ZOINKS: THE SPOOKY FOLKLORE OF SCOOBY-DOO
Mystery Incorporated have been unmasking ghosts and monsters for over fifty years now. And they look good on it too - all that running and screaming is obviously good for the health.
Over the many iterations of the show, the Scooby-Doo Universe has made use of much of our real world folklore creatures and myths. But how well represented were our witches, ghosts and cryptids? And how has the show influenced our own pop culture?
Based on a groundbreaking new book examining the show from a folklore perspective, with insight from many writers and production team members, this talk will answer those questions and more, in a style reminiscent of the show itself. Jinkies!
Join us at Malliway Bros from 7:30-9:30pm on May 11th! This is a free event!
