  I've spent sometime reflecting on your final question, Rebecca, and I'm really struggling to come up with another example of horror television with a similar set of aesthetic values in relation to death and gore. My mind keeps going back to Dext ...

  I second what Lori said about the glass becoming a signifier of something other precisely because the text can be read as fan-fiction. Of course, there were criticisms of the season, and particularly of the final episode which ranged from the idea that th ...

  Yes! The layers of references become so pointed and compounded particularly in season 3. For me one of the great pleasures of watching this show with a social media backdrop is being able to soak up and pool those references with the hive mind in the days ...

  Thanks Melanie! I've always been more drawn to the gothic and overtly aestheticised corners of horror, like Tarsem Singh's The Cell, for example. Reactions to the tension in moments where horror and beauty are present fascinates me. I guess it t ...

  I teach it as part of a broader Media Studies course for 17-18 year olds, which includes a module on television. I usually pair it with Sherlock and explore how genre texts can differ for mainstream and niche audiences. I've always used Aperitif and ...

  Thanks Brian. I absolutely recognise the cinematic influences you mention in the show, and certainly I noticed the increased frequency of time given over each episode for the overtly stylistic moments in season three in comparison to the previous seasons. ...

  Thanks for the link to the supercut, Rebecca. I agree with Melanie- the loss of these videos from NBC is disappointing but predictable. As with Melanie, I was unaware of this particular fannish practice, though I was aware that there had been some fanniba ...
