Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

Just in time for Halloween! A free lecture from U of U Professor Angela Smith on Disability in Horror films, from the 1930s to the present. Followed by a Q&A.Angela Marie Smith will talk about representations of disability in horror cinema, from classic horror films such as Frankenstein (1931) and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932) to more recent examples such as Split (2016), Hush (2016), The Girl with All the Gifts (2016), Hereditary (2018), A Quiet Place (2018), Midsommar (2019), and Run (2020). The talk shows how horror films often use disability to generate shock and terror, but it also looks at more nuanced disability representations that can affirm the knowledge and experiences of people with disabilities.This calendar listing is brought to you by NowPlayingUtah.com, Utah's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Utah Cultural Alliance.
