Abstract

The article analyzes multi-genre television series oscillating between fantasy, mystery, and horror with regard to their self-referentiality. The author discusses the interplay between a series' plot elements and narrative techniques and its active reception by its viewers in creating this self-referential system and, as examples, provides interpretations of the U.S. television programs "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Supernatural."
