Guess what? The folks behind The Black Museum lecture series have found the key to eternal happiness. They’ll tell you what it is once you… join them. Joking aside, if you’re a fan of all things dark, bloody, and macabre, you WILL want to join them for this presentation on Religious Cults in Horror. Journalist Alison Lang will take the hallowed stage to discuss depictions of cults in movies like Helter Skelter, The Wicker Man, and My Life in Orange, and examine how close they are to the real thing.
