It’s Summer-ween!  Join us as we dissect your favorite horror films. Rabies may have turned Cujo into a killer canine, but exactly how dangerous is rabies? I bet you didn’t know that Pet Sematary can tell us a lot about decomposition, or that there are actually Dracula-like parasites! What birds do we really need to watch out for if The Birds happened in real life? Are sharks the actual dangers lurking in the ocean depths like Jaws has led us to believe? How likely are snakes to take over a plane? Plus, wear your favorite costume and join in the costume contest for a prize! If you want to learn more, don’t be afraid to stop on by Museum of York County for some seriously killer fun!

Admission covers non-alcoholic drinks and classic movie-themed snacks!
