SUMMARY:The History of Folk Horror
LOCATION:Sheffield Students' Union
DESCRIPTION:Explore the dark origins of folk horror and its connections to 
 ancient customs\, folklore and modern anxieties. Followed by Q&A.\n\nWhy a
 re we so fascinated by old stories\, strange traditions\, and the idea tha
 t the past might still be hiding in the present? Folk horror often takes u
 s to remote villages\, wild landscapes and forgotten beliefs – places wh
 ere ancient customs and superstition feel very real.\n\nThe genre has seen
  a big comeback in recent years\, with new films\, TV and books building o
 n classic folk horror from the 1960s and 70s\, including The Wicker Man\, 
 Witchfinder General and The Blood on Satan's Claw. These stories were insp
 ired by older Gothic and supernatural writing\, including the work of Alge
 rnon Blackwood\, which drew heavily on folklore and real historical belief
 s.\n\nJoin Dr Sam Le Butt as we explore how folk horror blends history\, m
 yth and imagination – and ask: where does folklore end and reality begin
 ?\n\nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a
  good seat!\n\nFollow us on IG @seedtalks\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nDr Sam Le But
 t (she/her) is a researcher\, writer\, and educator with a PhD in English 
 Literature from the University of Bristol.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/eve
