An advanced screening of the horror film “Truth or Dare” will be held at Syracuse University on Tuesday night, University Union has announced.

Starring Lucy Hale and Tyler Posey, “Truth or Dare” follows a group of friends vacationing in Mexico who are tricked into a game of truth or dare that turns out to be more than a game. Players who don’t tell the truth or don’t follow through on a dare are killed.

The screening will be held in HBC Gifford Auditorium. Entrance is free for students, faculty, staff and the general public. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the screening starts at 8 p.m.
