There is still time to Register for the TV Fangdom Conference and benefit from the early-bird registration fee.

TV Fangdom: A Conference on Television Vampires
7-8 June 2013
The University of Northampton

Vampires have always made charismatic characters and with the rise of the VILF and the fangbanger they are more popular than ever. This conference aims to explore the vampire particularly in relation to its presence on television. From Barnabas Collins to the Count von Count, from Mona the Vampire to True Blood’s Pam, vampires appear everywhere on television schedules and in television history, whether in serials, made-for-TV movies, adaptations of gothic novels, adverts or children’s TV. This two day conference will therefore examine the position that the vampire has held on television as well the role  that television has had in the development of the modern vampire.

Keynote and featured speakers:
•         Brigid Cherry, editor of True Blood: Investigating Vampires and Southern Gothic and author of Horror (Routledge Film Guidebook)
•         Marcus Recht, author of Der Sympatische Vampir
•         Catherine Spooner, author of Contemporary Gothic
•         Lisa Kerrigan, BFI National Film and Television Archive to present rare archive television vampire material

See conference website: http://tvfangdom.wordpress.com/ for details of registration and provisional programme. Register before the 1st May 2013 and take advantage of the early-bird registration fee.

Conference co-organisers: Stacey Abbott, Lorna Jowett and Mike Starr
