The new UCBA History Club will hold its first annual Halloween Party on Monday, October 31, 2-5 p.m. in PAVB 150. There will be a brief talk on the history of All Hallow’s Eve, followed by a screening of the movie “Shadow of the Vampire,” a film from 2000 based on Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” and the classic German film within a film, 1922’s “Nosferatu.” Refreshments will be served, and costumes are welcome.
The History Club met for the first time on October 17 to watch the film “Lady Jane,” a story of Lady Jane Grey, the queen who ruled England for nine days in 1553 and was then executed.
According to the Club’s Faculty Advisor, Professor Timothy Forest, at future History Club meetings, members will participate in discussions historical in nature, screen more movies, and possibly go on field trips. There will also be presentations given by students, faculty, and guest speakers.
All are welcome, and all interested students are encouraged to come to History Club meetings.
