Expect curses, mummy eating, and a drawer filled with mummy penises. No, really. Part of Halloween Season at Santa Carla Margate

Long before Brendan Fraser dealt with the fallout from an ancient scroll, Victorian society was both terrified and obsessed with ancient Egypt.

Discover a time when wealthy elites hosted exclusive "mummy unwrapping parties," casual tourists brought stolen human heads back as souvenirs, and magical secret cults formed in the reading rooms of the British Museum.Join Dr. Jay Sullivan, historian and author of Egyptian Gothic, for a captivating talk that guides you through an era where history, horror, and high society spectacularly collided.

Expect curses, mummy eating, and a drawer filled with mummy penises. No really.
