Calling all true crime lovers! Join us as we watch Silence of The Lambs and then stay with us after for a lecture from author John Olszewski that delves deep inside the mind of a serial killer. Examine John’s extensive collection of artwork and photographs from murderers from all over the world while listening to his expert psychological analysis and personal first-hand experiences with real killers.

Jodie Foster stars as Clarice Starling, a top student at the FBI’s training academy. Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.
