Just in time for Halloween, come watch Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (2010), a beloved parody of the hillbilly horror genre. College students' unfounded fears about working-class white Appalachians are the source of their own undoing at a cabin in the woods. Dr. Emily Satterwhite will lead a post-film conversation exploring how the film's hilarious send-up of stereotypes and defense of rural places may inadvertently reinforce homophobic and anti-Black sentiments.
Two hillbillies are suspected of being killers by a group of paranoid college kids camping near the duo's West Virginian cabin. As the body count climbs, so does the fear and confusion as the college kids try to seek revenge against the pair.
Doors open at 6:00 and the film begins at 7:00. Admission is free.
