Join Dr Mark Mckenna, Associate Professor of Film and Media Industries, to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1984 Video Recordings Act, a period in British history that gave rise to the notorious ‘Video Nasties’.
The free event includes an exhibition of Video Nasties and related memorabilia, a talk by Dr McKenna, and a screening of cult classic The Evil Dead (1982).
Hosted in the Flaxman building foyer at the University’s Stoke-on-Trent campus, Cartoon & Comic Arts students will also be selling their anthology and producing horror themed art before the event – including the Drawing Dead, zombie caricatures, iconic slasher scenes, macabre life drawing, and more.
5 - 6pm: Video Nasties exhibition and Spooky Cartoons
6 - 7pm: Public lecture
7pm: Screening of The Evil Dead (rated 18).
