The one you’ve all been waiting for… 🤩
Join us on Saturday 7th as we chat to JARED HARRIS and LIAM GARRIGAN about their memorable performances as Francis Crozier and Thomas Jopson, as well as their time working on The Terror and the enduring legacy of the show.
We’re thrilled to announce that on Sunday 8th, we’ll be joined by JULIAN SANCTON, author of Madhouse at the End of the Earth.
In the Antarctic winter of 1898, Belgian naval officer Adrien de Gerlache, captain of the Belgica, made the glory-seeking (and ill-advised) decision to sail deep into the ice, ultimately stranding his ship and and its multinational crew for months in the polar night.
In Madhouse at the End of the Earth, Julian Sancton chronicles the mayhem that unfolded under those most extreme circumstances. He’ll be joining us for our Sunday keynote to talk all things Belgica, as well as answering questions from the audience!
We’re thrilled to announce that on Friday 6th December, we’ll be joined by Jessica Houston of BEYOND HER HORIZONS, an all-female polar expedition that navigated the Northwest Passage in 2023.
We’re so excited to talk to Jessica about her time on the expedition, which sought to explore, document, and honor the untold stories of Inuit and non-Indigenous women in the history of Arctic exploration. With film footage from the expedition, we’ll discuss new ways of telling Arctic history.
Need to mark your place in your latest polar tome? Could your notebook or laptop be improved with some exploration-themed decoration? Is your favourite outfit just not polar-themed enough?!
We’ve got you covered. 🫡
Buy bookmarks, stickers and caps from our official store, NEW for 2024, and share your Terror Camp love with the world.
Stay tuned for Artists’ Alley news coming soon!
The presentation lineup for Terror Camp 2024 is here, and we couldn’t be more excited!
As well as looking forward to this year’s spectacular panels, we’re thrilled to announce that this will be Terror Camp’s biggest year EVER. Not only will we be gathering across Saturday and Sunday — we’re also adding some programming on Friday 6th to kick off the weekend!
So without further ado, here’s the 2024 program!
A quick note about our finances!
From the very beginning, Terror Camp has worked on the principle of radical accessibility.
For this reason, Terror Camp is and will always be free to attend.
However, as we’ve grown, so have our costs. Following Terror Camp III in December 2023, where we experienced a record 1000+ registrants, attendees were invited to financially contribute to support the financial future of this project. These generous contributions have secured continuity of access to online Terror Camp materials, and ensure we can stay connected as a community. You can see a full breakdown of our 2023 costs here.
This year, we’re introducing an optional Pay What You Can ticket when you register to attend (opening later this week! 🎉). Want to know exactly where that money is going? Good news! You can see our projected costs for 2024 on our financial transparency page.
With your help, Terror Camp will be able to grow for many years to come. We’re so excited to reveal the 2024 program soon!
Vote now for the characters you’d most like to hear from (poll closing Sunday), and we’ll share Dave’s 12 playlists during the run up to Terror Camp 2024.
And lastly, once Dave has released his own personal choices for tunes, he really wants to hear the playlists for that character from everyone else in the fandom!
You’ll be able to contribute yours using a special hashtag each week, and we'll all jam out together 🤩❄️🎵
— xoxo Terror Camp Command
We’re thrilled to announce that Dave Kajganich will be joined for the first Q&A on September 18th (2:30PM ET) by Erik K. Skodvin, head of Miasmah Records, and Laurence Love Greed, the music supervisor for The Terror S1.
For the second Q&A on the 18th (8:30PM ET), we’ll be joined by Dave and Laurence.
Make sure you’re signed up to our newsletter to be sent the Zoom link to both events in just a few days!
Any questions about the event? Let us know!
A massive THANK YOU to everyone who submitted an abstract! It’s fantastic to see such a diverse selection of topics this year, and we’re so excited to read through every submission in the coming weeks! 🤩❄️
Thought about submitting an idea to Terror Camp, but missed the deadline? Good news!
We’re extending the submission deadline for presentations, workshops and roundtables! You’ve now got until midnight on September 3rd (PT) to share your ideas, and we can’t wait to read them 🤩❄️
There's just under 3 weeks left before our presentation, workshop and roundtable submissions close on September 1st!
Not sure how to write an abstract? You can still sign up for our workshop on August 17th.
We can't wait to hear your ideas! 🤩❄️
Thinking of applying to present at Terror Camp, but not sure how to write an abstract? We’re running a workshop on how to do just that!
Join us for a friendly session where we’ll chat about abstract-writing, share some tips, and answer your questions.
Date: Saturday 17th August Time: 11am EST (4pm UST) Location: Zoom
We’ll send the zoom link to everyone on the list ahead of the workshop.
Not sure if it’s for you? More info about the workshop can be found here.
See you there! ❄️✨
All you need for now is a short paragraph explaining your idea and why it’d be a good fit for Terror Camp (eg. “it’s about penguins in the Antarctic!”).
If you’re not sure what to write, have a look at some examples from past years — and you can always ask us if you have any questions! 🥰
Send us your poster ideas before submissions close next Thursday (August 1st).
Still thinking about a presentation, workshop or roundtable? You've got until September 1st to get your submissions in.
Got a great idea for a presentation or roundtable, but not sure how to apply?
We’re considering setting up a “How to write an abstract” workshop for first-time presenters (or experts who could do with a refresh)!
In the meantime, you can always reach out to us directly with any questions about how to apply. There are no stupid questions and we’re here to help! 🩵
If you’re a creative making work that engages with polar themes, we want YOU for our Artists’ Alley!
Every year, we feature artists working in all mediums on the Terror Camp website and in our Discord, giving you the opportunity to sell your wares to our audience of attendees.
You don’t need to be a visual artist – novel writers, crafters, and other creatives are all welcome! All you need is a virtual storefront that’s live by Dec 1st, 2024.
Don’t have a storefront, but still want to get involved? This year, we’re also looking for artists to design exclusive Terror Camp merch for our official Redbubble store!
Applications close on September 1st.
(Questions? Ask here, or email us at artists @ terror.camp!)
