Buffy Scholar/Critic

Thomas S. Hibbs is Professor and Department Chair of Philosophy at Boston College. He has written two scholarly books on Aquinas and is the author of Shows About Nothing: Nihilism in Popular Culture from The Exorcist to Seinfeld (Spence, 1999). He is presently working on another book. Paint It Black: Philosophy and Film Noir. Still suffering from the YV viewing habits of his youth, he enjoys the vampires of BtVS but insists that Barnabas Collins is the hippest vampire ever.
