SHRIEK: A Women of Horror Film Class continues on second Sundays at Naked City Brewery and Taphouse! SHRIEK is a community education series that examines the roles of women in horror films. In November, discussion leaders and horror fanatics Evan J. Peterson and Heather Marie Bartels will help us unpack one of the most exciting (and divisive) horror films of 2015: The Witch!

The Witch (sometimes spelled The VVitch) is the story of a colonial family suriviving while isolated in the American wilderness. The horror is incredibly intimate and small-scale, which has led some to find it all the more terrifying. Within the first few minutes, the film does something so horrifying that it's even rare in the horror genre. From there, we watch the family turn on each other with accusations of witchcraft, murder, and of course—Black Phillip. Join us Sunday, November 13! Doors: 6:30pm, Discussion and film: 7:00pm

SHRIEK is a community class merging film with education and offering an accessible forum outside of academia. The goal is to offer low-cost opportunities to learn about film and women's studies and to inspire more diverse filmmakers to get involved as creators in the genre. Naked City Brewery sponsors the series in their screening room, with film sponsorship from Scarecrow Video. 

The Naked City screening room is 21+. Food and drinks are available on site. Please do not bring outside food or drink. We reserve the right to refuse admission to anyone under the influence of extreme drugs or drunkenness.
