“Horry County Museum to host Halloween screening and discussion of Blood Quantum”
Celebrate Halloween with a different kind of zombie film. In partnership with the South Carolina Commission for Community Advancement and Engagement and the Native American Film & Video Festival of the Southeast, the Horry County Museum will host a screening and discussion of the film Blood Quantum on October 31st at 1 PM. Blood Quantum combines intense horror with a powerful Indigenous perspective, using the zombie genre to explore colonialism, sovereignty, intergenerational trauma, cultural survival, and the meaning of identity. Set in an alternate 1981, a zombie plague spreads across the world, but the Indigenous residents of the fictional Mi’kmaq reserve of Red Crow are mysteriously immune. As surrounding communities collapse, tribal leaders must protect their people while confronting difficult questions about survival, sanctuary, identity, and the legacy of colonization. This film is rated R for language, violence and gore and is not suitable for all audiences.
The film will be followed by a community conversation focused on tribal sovereignty, cultural survival, and the ongoing fight against erasure. Using the film’s apocalypse metaphor as a starting point, the discussion will explore how Indigenous communities have already endured historic efforts to remove, assimilate, redefine, and erase Native peoples, cultures, governments, and identities, and how tribal communities continue to resist those forces today.
The conversation will also examine the idea that, for many Indigenous communities, “the apocalypse” is not simply a fictional future event, but a useful metaphor for generations of colonization, displacement, cultural suppression, and attacks on sovereignty. The discussion will center on how Native communities continue to rebuild, preserve culture, exercise sovereignty, and ensure that their histories and identities remain visible for future generations.
This event will be held at the Museum’s McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street, Conway, S.C. This program is free and open to the public, no reservations or tickets required. For more information, call 843-915-5320 or email hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov. For more information about our programs, visit the museum website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.

See history come to life at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm! A large part of farm life in Horry County involved old-fashioned syrup making. Each fall, sugar cane was gathered from the field and taken to a local cane mill where the juice was squeezed from the stalk. Cooking down the raw juice into sweet cane syrup became a celebration and gathering for the community and is a tradition that is carried on each year at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm. Join us Saturday, November 14th from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm as staff and volunteers demonstrate the process of making cane syrup and a variety of other traditional activities including children’s games, cooking on a wood burning stove, and more!
This event is free and open to the public. The L.W. Paul Living History Farm is located at 2279 Harris Short Cut Road in Conway, SC. For more information, call (843) 915-5321 or e-mail hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov.

The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, November 18th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
