Description
Beneath the fields, in the woods, in the hidden valleys something stirs. The Wicker Man, Starve Acre, Midsommer, VVitch, A Field in England all feed memes and repeated views but what draws us to these depictions of rural horror? A longing for old ways or a fear of closed, unwelcoming communities? And could there be an urban folk horror?
Join Dr Andrew Fergus Wilson to explore and discuss these themes and more.
