I was excited to come across this recently:
200 Years of the Fantastic: Celebrating Frankenstein and Mary Shelley
The 39th International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts
March 14-18, 2018
Orlando Airport Marriott Lakeside, Orlando, Florida
Guests of Honor: John Kessel and Nike Sulway
Guest Scholar: Fred Botting
Special Guest Emeritus: Brian Aldiss
Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein was published in 1818 and, over 200 years later, still remains a profound influence on modern culture. Frankenstein and the Fantastic, an outreach effort of the Northeast Alliance for the Study of the Fantastic and the Fantastic Areas (Fantasy & Science Fiction and Monsters & the Monstrous) of the Northeast Popular Culture/American Culture Association, is designed as a resource for celebrating the text and its legacy.
Counting down to 2024: The sixtieth anniversary of The Munsters, the fiftieth anniversary of Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder's Young Frankenstein, the fortieth anniversary of Tim Burton's original Frankenweenie, the thirtieth anniversary of Kenneth Branagh’s film Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Universal Studios’ television series Monster Force, the twentieth anniversary of Geof Darrow and Steve Skroce’s comic Doc Frankenstein and Stephen Sommers’s film Van Helsing, and the tenth anniversary of Stuart Beattie’s I, Frankenstein.
