Goodnight from Sadie Clemens, wondering if she’ll have the dream where she’s a crow with a beakful of corpse-flesh again. Goodnight from Joshua Hand, failing to disguise his voice while phoning in a bomb warning on behalf of the Ghost Preservation Society. Goodnight from Hookland

Thank you very much to everyone who came to see me, @TobyHadoke, @aneercs and @MrGeetsRomo discuss Nigel Kneale at @anthonyburgess on a humid Saturday morning for @Headpress’s 35th anniversary celebration yesterday - what a joy! 🚀
Thank you to everyone who's shared, liked and gotten in touch already about Haunted Futures 2026! Just a quick update, the CFP deadline has been revised to July 24th to allow attending delegates more time to source accommodation and organise travel! #hauntedfutures#hf26

@thevoidfox @TheVoidFoxy Ah @thevoidfox! Typo! We’re so sorry! We didn’t record panels but we really do insist that you join us next year and thank you again for sharing your work with us!
We were delighted to share the wonderful work of @TheVoidFoxy as part of this year’s conference. Foxy’s film (also titled Haunted Futures!) prompted some really fascinating discussions about digital space and synchronicities!!
It was an absolute delight to present and take questions from @HauntedFutures on the subject of haunting, hegemony and anti-fascism. Thank you so much! 👻
Our final panel of Haunted Futures 2025 is our first ever fully online panel, very appropriate for our Haunted Technologies theme! We have papers from Ana Clara Alves, Rhys Handley, Aqsa Eram and Bronte Shiltz.
it was my absolute pleasure to talk about one of my favorite films @HauntedFutures and to use the phrase “Barbie snuffhouse” in my first ever conference presentation 🩸
Our next panel looks at cinema and spectrality, very appropriate for Haunted Futures @uccfilmstudies! We have papers from @maxbledstein, Weija Zeng and Karen Smith.
Our next panel examine AI, gender, video games and the gothic! With papers from John Kavanagh, Federica Palazzi, Paula Garcia-Rodriguez and Violet Burns.
We’re now delighted to screen our colleague Lenneart Soberon’s film Dragon Teeth which won the prize for best short documentary at Galway Film Fleadh this summer!
Things took a distinctly liminal turn for our second panel, we had papers from Siobhán Scarlett O’Reilly, Thomas Conner and @uccfilmstudies’s own Kane Geary O’ Keeffe
