“Near Dark”: Stacey Abbott on teaching vampire lore

December 05, 2020

Film and Television Studies and Vampire-Zombie-Horror scholar Stacey Abbott stops by to talk about her latest book, NEAR DARK, part of the BFI Film Classics series by Bloomsbury.

She teaches classes on vampires in television and film, has spent years convincing friends and strangers to see NEAR DARK, and she talks about all of the research she's done on the movie and the making of the movie, and so much more.

And yes, we also dive into ANGEL for quite a while, and I can't wait for her to write a zombie study!
