Abstract:
Our introduction to this Special Issue is premised on the fact that the rich critical work on folk horror has far from exhausted what can be (and needs to be) said about folk horror. There is a particular need for scholarship that extends its reach beyond Britain and for that which self-consciously interrogates, expands and complicates initial theoretical formulations of folk horror. There is a need, in short, for a ‘second wave’ of folk horror criticism that develops the first – that attends more specifically, for instance, to modes within folk horror (and folk horror as a mode), to the ways

Abstract:
This paper aims to present the Asian take on the folk horror subgenre. The author focuses on the HBO-produced anthology Folklore (2018–), which states the starting point for further analyses. Wajda starts by pointing to difficulties in defining ‚folk horror’ and its meaning for the development of global cinemas. The author describes and compares different approaches to this term and takes a closer look at relations between horror, its literary beginnings, and folk stories filled with grim and gruesome events. Concerning the above, Wajda observes that folk horror was primarily associated with B

Abstract:
This essay draws on insights from the study of trans-diegetic sound and Michel Chion’s theory of the acousmêtre to begin to explore how voice and vocalic sound function in a selection of folk horror works for screen, with a close focus on Zone Blanche (2017). Not only do folk horror works make for rich subjects for voice studies, but they have the potential to offer new theoretical insights to voice itself. Through what I identify as its genre-bound obsessions with vocal (dis)embodiment, trans-generational possession and (non)dualism, folk horror engages with vocalic rather than semantic aspec

El presente artículo se centra en el análisis de una parte del fantástico y del horror fílmico que se erige sobre lo que podríamos denominar terror vegetal. Estos filmes ponen en escena miedos primitivos y adaptativos y convierten el espacio forestal en un territorio simbólico y animista. Así ponemos el foco en el Folk Horror, subgénero en el que el fantástico vegetal ha medrado y ganado popularidad en el séptimo arte de las últimas décadas, donde el paisaje es un protagonista más de la trama, con unos actantes sometidos al aislamiento físico y mental, y donde se desata el componente sobrenatu

Abstract:
While folk horror has never been identified as exclusive to western cinema, most studies of the topic have so far been strongly aligned with western world-views, philosophies and methodologies. This makes it difficult to apply their findings to films made in non-Christian non-western countries, such as Thailand. This article discusses Banjong Pisanthanakun’s film Rang Song (The Medium) (2021) as a case in point to demonstrate how folk horror operates as a mode in Thai cinema.

Abstract:
This article explores one of the roots of the recent folk horror revival in the work of the Victorian anthropologist, Edward Tylor. Tylor’s ‘doctrine of survivals’ was about elements of pre-modern culture and belief persisting out of time into the modern world. It has been argued that this is one of the key sources for the folk horror narrative of modern outsiders venturing into pockets of pre-modern belief. The article excavates the insistent racialization of the ‘survival’ in Tylor’s work and explores whether the folk horror revival in recent years has fully explored this ambiguous inheritan

This article aims at investigating the emergence of the American folk horror revival of the 2010s, focusing on texts such as Ari Aster’s Midsommar (2019) or Robert Eggers’s The VVitch (2015). This survey of the folk horror revival will inevitably lead us to the genre’s past, particularly to the so-called Unholy Trinity, comprised by three films released in Great Britain during the late 1960s and early 1970s. This temporal and geographical dislocation will be situated against a larger background of cultural production, arguing that the appearance of the folk horror revival sheds some light on t

The article analyzes contemporary folk horror podcast series The Silt Verses (2021–ongoing) in order to theorize how horror as a genre conveys the relationship with the sacred in contemporary culture, with the characteristics and functions of the sacred described by Roger Caillois in L’homme et le sacré. First, the article focuses on the folk horror aspect of the series, how it alters the sub-genre conventions and how it presents the monstrous sacred which leads to notion of “divine terror” or “sacred dread” and fear as a primordial response to the sacred and, therefore, the role of religious

Abstract:
Upon its broadcast in 2020, many reviewers were dismissive of the BBC’s adaptation of Agatha Christie’s The Pale Horse (1961), citing the production’s inclusion of supernatural and occult elements as incongruous with the author’s work. Screenwriter Sarah Phelps has adapted five Christie novels for television, with all the productions dividing audiences and critics due to their deviations from the source materials. While The Pale Horse (1961) contains elements of folk horror and gothic, these elements are accentuated in the television mini-series and gradually dominate the novel’s rational crim

Abstract:
In June 2009 a group of forum-goers on the popular culture website, Something Awful, created a monster called the Slender Man. Inhumanly tall, pale, black-clad, and with the power to control minds, the Slender Man references many classic, canonical horror monsters while simultaneously expressing an acute anxiety about the contemporary digital context that birthed him. This anxiety is apparent in the collective legends that have risen around the Slender Man since 2009, but it figures particularly strongly in the Web series Marble Hornets (Troy Wagner and Joseph DeLage June 2009 - ).

This dissertation examines the role of Zilphia Horton (1910-1956) in helping to establish the use of music as a powerful tool to unify and train groups involved in social reform at seminars led by Highlander Folk School. In engaging in what has been termed the “mobilization of music,” Mrs. Horton was active in labor disputes, training seminars in the United States and Canada, and the formation of women’s union auxiliaries from 1935 until 1956. The study uses correspondence written by Horton to her husband, Myles Horton; business letters to labor union officials and contributors to songsters; a

The collection illuminates how folk monsters form across different art and media traditions, and interrogates the 21C revitalization of “folk” as both a cultural formation and aesthetic mode. The essays explore how combinations of vernacular and institutional creative processes shape the folkloric and/or folkoresque attributes of monstrous beings, their popularity, and the contexts in which they are received.
