Flyer featuring event details
Join us for a free reception and screening of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, followed by commentary from Director of Appalachian Studies, Professor Emily Satterwhite.
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.
A reception in The Lyric lobby will precede the film from 6-7 pm. Light snacks will be provided and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase; Film and discussion to follow at 7pm.
This event is free and open to all. Registration is encouraged but not required. To register, visit this link: https://forms.office.com/r/4ZqEWTgK1v.
