Troll: The Original Harry Potter

Troll: The Original Harry Potter

Cost:  $22 ($18 members)

Monday, October 13th

Picture this: a young boy discovers the world is actually full of witches, wizards, and magic. With the guidance of an elderly sorcerer, only he can prevent a dark wizard from returning to power. And that young boy's name is... Harry Potter! Yup, really. In 1986. It's John Carl Buechler's TROLL (82 min)! 

Starring Noah Hathaway (Atreyu from THE NEVER ENDING STORY), Julia Louis-Dreyfus in her acting debut, and Sonny Bono as a creepy swinger, TROLL is a forgotten gem every bit as weird and wild as its famous in-name-only sequel.

In this class we'll discuss the surprising story behind this campy film, its bizarre legacy, the folklore it is built upon, and the oxymoron that is "Children's Horror."

This class will be taught by taught by MMU assistant instructor Kevin Wells.

Class size will be limited to 18.
