Panels I went to at #NecronomiconPVD:
The Daphne du Maurier panel discussed The Birds as you'd expect, but I didn't realize that she also wrote Don't Look Now. Panelists also discussed a bunch of her stories that were weird fiction, such as The Blue Lenses (a woman regains sight after an eye operation and now sees people as having animal heads) or The Pool (a small child finds a pool in the forest that seems to lead to another world).
The Arthur Machen panel gave a well-organized account of his long life and career, focusing on the well-known books (The Great God Pan; The White People) but also the flap over his story The Bowmen and his late-career work.
