This dropped last week! Such a great time presenting a paper on Freddy's mutations throughout the Nightmare on Elm Street films. My only regret: presenting it on my phone! Technology failed me - but my fellow panellists were incredible, as was the chair. I'd love to do it again!

This is the first conference panel I chaired and a very fun one too! It features a great paper by @hardboiledpoker and an interesting conversation about The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Nixon, and the political horrors of the era!
