Vampires & the Human Psyche

Why are we so drawn to vampires? What do they reveal about us?

Long before Hollywood, vampires started with folklore, born out of fear and superstition. Over the centuries, these figures have evolved into a key element of pop culture and left a lasting mark on our collective consciousness. From Dracula and Nosferatu to Lost Boys and our beloved Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this talk will explore these enduring symbols and their connections to the human psyche.

Join Katie Evans in exploring why we both fear and love vampires, and how their stories resonate with us on a personal level. Through psychoanalysis, forensic psychology and the lens of gender and sexuality, we will dig deep into vampiric legend. From Freud and Jung to modern ideas of narcissism, we will explore how these blood-sucking figures represent otherness, internal struggles and the complexities that many of us face as humans.

**Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!**
