Join in a discussion with award-winning author Brian Patrick Duggan followed by a screening of 1977’s The Pack. In his newest book, Horror Dogs: Man’s Best Friend as Movie Monster, Brian traces the history of canines as villains from their beginnings in classical mythology to their on-screen depictions in animal horror films. Stick around after the film for a Q&A session, raffle, and book signing with Brian.

The Pack: They were pets ... Now they're killers! Fangs dripping blood, a pack of abandoned dogs turns on its human masters. Joe Don Baker stars as Jerry, an ex-Marine who leaves violence behind to move to a small New England resort island with his new family. But as the season ends, vacationers thoughtlessly desert the dogs they fed all summer--and the starving animals turn vicious. Roaming the island, they terrorize its inhabitants, soon lusting for human meat.

Discussion at 6 p.m., Film at 6:30, Q&A following the film.
