Thanks Matt! So glad you enjoyed it and it was great to see you! Thanks for chairing too!

Coming to the end of day one and reflecting on what great work @kte75.bsky.social and @cinefeline.bsky.social have done to put together a conference that is wide ranging in terms of discipline, cultures, and periods covered while also designing panels that are coherent and compelling. Great day one!

Youth X Horror conference; text showing on the screen and two people talking in front of the conference room, people sitting in the room listening to them

Stuffed animals: a green mallard with Dracula clothes, a creepy but cute orange cat with a Walkman and headphones and Count Von Count with 3D glasses, along with horror comics, other horror-esque toys and video cassettes on a table. Behind the table posters with text about Youth and Horror.

Youth X Horror conference was amazing - the inspiring talks, the meaningful conversations with great people! Thank you @cinefeline.bsky.social and @kte75.bsky.social for the absolutely marvellous work you did to make this happen! ❤️✨💀👻

Very chuffed to have written the obituary, for the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, of the inspiring, multi-talented (and, in my view, underappreciated) British Queen of Horror, Barbara Shelley. RIP Barbara.
