Known and loved in the horror community, The Conjuring series follows paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren as they face the true horrors behind possessions and paranormal manifestations. These stories are often coined as being "based on a true" story, but how much of what we see is the truth? 🤔

Join us for a creepy season edition of How True is a True Story?, a program where we dive into the real story behind movies based on true events. This month, we're watching The Conjuring 2 (2016)! 👻

Before the screening of the film, there will be a 15-minute presentation about the true events that inspired the story, where you might be surprised to learn what is accurate and what is pure Hollywood!

🗓️ Saturday, Oct. 24
⏰ 6:30-9 pm | Doors open at 6 pm
💲 $17 (plus fees)
