STIFF DRINKS: BLOOD IS THE LIFE, WATER IS DEATH & HORROR MOVIE TRIVIA
About this Event
Break out the garlic and the pedialyte! Another round of STIFF DRINKS IS HERE!!!
And this month's event has some serious BITE to it!!
The night starts with a presentation of BLOOD IS THE LIFE, WATER IS DEATH: Cholera, Vampires, and the Archeology of Fear in 17th Century Poland by our incredible SPECIAL GUEST Dr. M. Elle Saine, award-winning skeletal biologist and infectious disease physician, who will be discussing her research - particularly, her fieldwork excavating VAMPIRE SKELETONS from a 17th century CHOLERA CEMETERY in Drawsko, Poland!
Yes, you read that correctly!
Vampires. Cholera. Cemeteries!!
THIS TALK IS GONNA BE THE SHIT!! (And not just because of the cholera!)
FOLLOWING THE LECTURE: we’ll go head to severed head with a special VAMPIRE AND CONTAGION EDITION of our popular HORROR MOVIE TRIVIA! TOP THREE TEAMS TAKE HOME PRIZES!! Guaranteed to be the most challenging horror trivia in Philly!!
It’s going to be such a BLOODY GOOD TIME!
LIMITED SEATS AVAILABLE.
COST IS $10 per ticket. 2 tickets for $15. At check out you have the option of a single ticket (for $10) or double ticket (for $15).
We will be donating a portion of our proceeds to support the amazing work of our friends over at Good Boy Dog Recovery who helped rescue a lost dog at the cemetery last year. Absolutely amazing people!
REMEMBER: Nothing’s too arcane, gruesome, taboo, or out of bounds - so long as you’re among good friends and have a couple of STIFF DRINKS!!
Moving forward, STIFF DRINKS will alternate between online and in-person programming and include a variety of scholarly, accessible, and respectful public dialogues: including informal lectures, activities, charitable events, and more. Think of it as an inclusive community for taphophiles by taphophiles!! Come get the dirt on topics like human composting, local graveyard history, cemetery symbolism, cadavers, true crime, grave robbing, necrophilia - and more!
See you there!!
