Thinking After Dark: Welcome to the World of Horror Video Games is a conference specifically about horror-themed video games planned for April 23-25, 2009 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Word is: "Considering the relatively slow progress of generic studies among the recent surge of academic interest towards video games, this event represents a major first step. In order to map out the realm of horror video games, the conference favors an intermedial study of manifestations of horror in other cultural practices (literary and cinematographic)." A Call for Papers is online for those with expertise to share on the topic. Thanks Kotaku via GameSetWatch.
