For Halloween, the increasingly revered horror masterpiece Messiah of Evil (1973). This contains some of the most potent macabre imagery and atmosphere of the 70s, which will always be my favourite decade for the genre.

Join historian Cat Stiles for a talk and collage workshop celebrating the queer history of monstrous women and female monsters. We'll meet the OG lesbian vampire, sixteenth-century witches who had sex with the devil, and Medusa before and after her transformation into a monster.

Cat will take us on a guided tour of the history of gender and monstrous bodies, before giving you the chance to make your own monstrous collage art and poetry from historical pictures and texts - a perfect start to the spooky season!
