IT’S ALIVE 👻 Joining the likes of Freddy & Jason, Michael Myers & Chucky, The Slasher Studies Summer Camp is back from the dead. But what, dearest friends and colleagues, could this possibly *possibly* mean? Paging Dr. Wickham Clayton (@wick85c), it’s safe to answer the phone 😉

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!
