Unfortunately, Miskatonic Los Angeles must postpone the lecture REGRESSION OBSESSION: BRIDEY MURPHY MANIA’S IMPACT ON HORROR CINEMA. But fear not! We will not leave you bereft in the holiday season. In its place, we are thrilled to present THE BACK ROOMS: AN EXPLORATION OF THE CREEPYPASTAS PHENOMENON. First co-presented with Nightstream Festival earlier this year, instructor Simon Laperrière will return for a live broadcast of his lecture.

Tuesday Dec. 28, 2021 – 7:30 pm PST – 9:00 pm PST
THE BACK ROOMS: AN EXPLORATION OF THE CREEPYPASTAS PHENOMENON
Instructor: Simon Laperrière | Tickets $10

From the Slender Man to Candle Cove, creepypastas have an undeniable influence on pop culture. Internet urban legends and fictions have recently been the object of numerous films, tv series and podcasts. Such phenomenon deserves not an analysis, but an exploration, in order to understand why they fascinate us (and why they keep us in front of our computer late at night). Being one of the first scholars to write about the Slender Man mythology, Simon Laperrière invites you on a journey through those amateur fictions, questioning why their impact is so strong on a sociological point of view. Creepypastas are a new folklore that cannot be ignored, especially when a film like We’re Are All Going to the World’s Fair understands their power so well. Welcome into a world of strange and funny stories. Welcome to the Back Rooms!

For those with global passes and Los Angeles branch passes, your registration link for the original December lecture will work for this replacement class. We hope to present REGRESSION OBSESSION in 2022.
