This introduced me to many new movies i need to watch.
Really really good exploration of folk horror
This is just an absolutely fantastic overview of folklore as it relates to a horror experience. It delves into subjects that you would never on the surface think are related, but absolutely are.
Exceptional. The box set is just as spectacular!
loved this!
