Been waiting a long time for this to come out but it's well worth the wait. Soundtrack to the best film of the year
Basking in a warm summer morning at work puts me in mind of being at school and that rare treat, the TV lesson. So I wrote a blog about that and some of the scary and strange shows that would occasionally slip through. www.folknhell.com/blog/an-educ... #horror #folkhorror #1970s
"More weight." A defiance that cost Giles Corey everything and legitimised nothing FolknHell reviews More Weight by Ben Wickey. A stark, sober & compelling story of the Salem witch trials as moral horror, not spectacle. https://link.content360.io/fhmw #witchcraft #wicca
Flat landscapes. Ancient bogs. A family curse stretching back further than memory. Moloch (2022) is European #folkhorror at its most elemental. Slow, damp & deeply unsettling Listen to the FolknHell podcast: https://link.content360.io/fhml #horror #moviereview #bogbodies
FolknHell checks into Hokum. Remote Irish inn, locked honeymoon suite, witchcraft, and a chalk circle that really needed finishing It's scary. One of us screamed But does it hold up to a second viewing? Is it even #folkhorror ? New episode 👇 https://www.folknhell.com/hokum-review

10 years before Disney, Something Wicked This Way Comes visited a nightmare British fairground. Cold, loud, smelling of onions and undercooked meat. It’s like a 1970s Public Information Film. Underfunded, unsettling, unofficial New blog folknhell.com/blog/something-else-wicked-this-way-comes
Rewatched Hokum. It unravels when you know what's coming. Some great characters (hotel staff, mostly), some proper scares, but the lead character is unlikeable. It's a fun horror set in a folk horror world, rather than #folkhorror but it underuses the brilliant Jack the Jackass #Hokum #Horror
Did you know that Are you Being Served made a folk horror episode? Based on real folklore? www.folknhell.com/blog/the-cat...
A contract kill. A handshake in blood Kill List (2011) hides its folk horror in plain sight. Behind dinner parties, hotel lawns, a contract with three names on it. Listen to the folknhell podcast for Kill List https://link.content360.io/klfh
A monochrome Estonian folk horror masterpiece where peasants trade souls, the dead dine with the living & love is the cruellest spell of all FolknHell talks November (2017) https://link.content360.io/fhnov #FolkHorror
Most #folkhorror tells you what it is. Ben Wheatley's Kill List (2011) hides it until the last possible moment. Hitman thriller, domestic drama, ritual nightmare. We've been wanting to do this one for a while The new FolknHell podcast talks Kill List link.content360.io/klfh
A months-long occult ceremony in a remote Welsh house. Two people who should never have been left alone together A Dark Song (2016) is the most unsettling film we've covered. Find out why https://link.content360.io/ads #FolkHorror #CosmicHorror
