Three chums, one microphone, and a whole world of folk horror. The Folk n Hell podcast unearths delights from around the world and tries to agree if they're worth our (and your) time. www.folknhell.com or wherever you get your podcasts
Shamans, geomancers & a burial site that poisons everything around it. Exhuma (2024) is Korean #folkhorror at full stretch: mythic, visceral & startlingly ambitious.

A pompous scholar, a cold English beach & a whistle he should never have blown. Jonathan Miller's Whistle and I'll Come to You (1968) is patient, inexorable dread & remains the perfect M.R. James adaptation

1972. A bedridden girl draws a house, a ring of ancient stones… and walks into the picture. Escape into Night predates Children of the Stones by 5 years & is just as unsettling.

A presence in the woods. A grandmother who hears voices. A family that never stood a chance. SATOR will crawl under your skin 🌲👁️

My first viewing was similar. Far too young and innocent to know what was actually going on, but cool wolves and a fairy tale... I was hooked
Every black dog omen, standing stone, pagan dance and village ritual leads back to this. Reader's Digest's Folklore, Myths & Legends of Britain (1973) is the keystone of British folklore and folk horror.

Neil Jordan's The Company of Wolves (1984) takes Little Red Riding Hood apart and puts it back together as something feverish, erotic & deeply strange. A #folkhorror fever dream

A private eye. A missing man. A deal with something older than the law. Alan Parker's Angel Heart (1987) is folk horror dressed as noir and Mickey Rourke has never been more lost.

A missing girl. A harvest festival. A village that knows exactly where she is. Lord of Misrule (2023) is #folkhorror rooted in English rural tradition. The community's silence is the most frightening thing in it.

Few things have haunted a generation like Children of the Stones (1977). A village trapped in time, standing stones humming with menace & a cast of glassy-eyed villagers. Absolutely unhinged teatime telly

I watched this without any expectations and was blown away. What a strange and beautiful film.
It's breathtaking, hilarious, beautiful and tragic all at once.

November (2017). Estonian folklore, devil's bargains & kratts built from bones & desire. Shot in luminous black & white & like nothing else in #folkhorror. Absolutely essential.

It's definitely worth a watch. Bear in mind that it's a kids' show but it certainly delivers
I really must get around to watching Paperhouse
Everyone remembers Children of the Stones but 5 years earlier, in 1972, children’s television unleashed a tale just as uncanny: moving standing stones. In Escape into Night, a bedridden girl sketches a lonely house & a ring of ancient stones… then steps inside her own drawing.

I'm a total nerd for TV tie-ins. I've got shelves full of them. Hunting I did go and just snapped up a copy. I won't begrudge you if it's mince ;-)
Ha! Of course ;-)
what was the novel called, BTW? I'll go a-hunting
Ah yes, 1977. Thanks. The documentary is ace. From the trailer, the film looks very earnest, but I have a fine single malt and a free evening ;-)
There are only three days left so it's unlikely it'll hit its goal, but there's a Kickstarter ongoing for a series of immersive audio stories set in the Withered Hill universe.

Picked up a copy of this gem yesterday. What if the elite are escaping Earth to colonize other planets? (I know, good riddance!) The 1979 TV "documentary" is fabulous but I had no idea they'd made an actual film of it. Tonight's viewing sorted

And while Small Prophets may be Mackenzie Crook's best work as a creator to date, for me his finest hour (well, 14 minutes) is as Servalan in Blake's Junction 7 ;-)

Mackenzie Crook's Small Prophets is quietly extraordinary.
Grief, alchemy & palm-sized homunculi in a frayed, faintly uncanny England. Folklore woven so gently you barely notice it.

Oh yeah. The next door neighbour of The Beast
While the new FolknHell episode, Sator is now available (folknhell.com, folks) we spent a thoroughly enjoyable evening last night watching and discussing A Dark Song. Stunning, shocking & awesome in the literal sense of the word
