[ecrea] TV Fangdom: A Conference on Television Vampires

Sat Mar 09 23:43:43 GMT 2013



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 as 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
