Flyer for Tricks, Treats, and Misinformation?

Join the Media Literacy Club for "Tricks, Treats, and Misinformation?" We'll dive into the famous "Halloween sadism" legend to find out if it was ever true. Using a classic sociological study, we'll investigate the real cases (which were often fabrications) , deconstruct the myth, and explore how "social strain" and anxieties about crime and strangers created an urban legend that fooled generations.

Dress Casual (jeans ok)

Food Provided (Candy)
