Description: Vampires: Creatures of the Night – a slide presentation for all ages by Martin V. Riccardo. This slide lecture presentation explores the mysteries of the vampire in legend, fantasy, and fact. Many aspects of the undead are covered including the origin and history of vampire beliefs, ancient lore of blood and the restless dead, and the attraction of the vampire in literature, movies, and popular culture. The tremendous impact of the novel “Dracula” is examined, along with the historical figure of Vlad Dracula in Romania. Various explanations of the vampire legend are considered from a scientific perspective. The presentation also examines the real vampire bats of Latin America, and strange reports of unearthly figures, such as the vampire of Highgate Cemetery in England, and Dracula’s ghost in Romania.

Chicago – You’re Next! #ChicagoYoureNext
Creepy things are afoot in Chicago if these photos we just received are any indication!
One of the smartest and most terrifying films in years, YOU’RE NEXT reinvents the genre by putting a fresh twist on home-invasion horror. When a gang of masked, ax-wielding murderers descend upon the Davison family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped…until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all.
You’re Next hits theaters on Friday, August 23rd – but you can get a sneak peak at Flashback Weekend this weekend in Rosemont! Details at http://www.flashbackweekend.com!
