Comic-con is finally here and True Blood is well represented with the actors and crew attending various panels this year. One of our writers here at TrueBloodNet.com, Isis Nocturne, is attending the Behind the Music with CW3PR: Composing for Sci-Fi, Horror, and Fantasy Film & TV panel which has True Blood composer Nathan Barr as one of the seven panelists discussing the behind-the-scenes perspective on creating music for television and film. Below are Isis Nocturne‘s tweets from the event and photos.
