From grand corpse larceny in medieval Venice to the iron coffins popping up in Lincoln Park, Lorrisa blends spine-tingling true tales with cinematic flair in an engaging and light-hearted way.

Morbid History is a macabrely delightful romp through time, curated by award-winning filmmaker Lorrisa Julianus, and designed for those who prefer their history with a twist of the eerie. From grand corpse larceny in medieval Venice to the iron coffins popping up in Lincoln Park, Lorrisa blends spine-tingling true tales with cinematic flair, bringing forgotten facts to life in a way that's engaging, educational, and light-hearted.

In this presentation, Lorrisa covers, among other topics:

  • The bizarre burials of the Habsburg royal family
  • The terror of Resurrectionists digging up your bones
  • American cemetery history and lore
  • The morbid truth of the Smithsonian collections
  • Chicago’s largest cemetery, which never really got moved

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Lemont Public Library District.
