For those of you who have a taste for, and interest in horror and\/or television studies, there is a conference on television horror taking place on campus over the weekend of 27th – 29th October<\/span><\/strong>. All are welcome! <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0At Home with Horror? Terror on the Small Screen<\/strong><\/span><\/em>, has been organized by the Melodrama Research Group and is supported by the Centre for Film and Media Research. The primary question the conference aims to engage with is whether it is on the small screen that\u00a0critical and creative innovations in horror are now taking place. The event\u00a0will revisit the history of the genre by reflecting on seminal works of television horror whilst also seeking to understand how the expansion of satellite television and online sites have impacted the genre. In addressing these questions the conference will underline the importance of the small screen for horror and ask, is the small screen now the home of horror? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Registration fees are, \u00a345 waged <\/span><\/strong>and \u00a325 for unwaged<\/span><\/strong>. If you would like to attend (and we hope\u00a0you will!), you can register for the conference using the online store which can be accessed via the following link.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
