SUMMARY:The History of Folk Horror
LOCATION:The Guildhall
DESCRIPTION:Why do stories of ghosts\, witches and shapes in the night cont
 inue to haunt our imaginations? What is it about those ancient landscapes
 \, ruined churches\, mist-shrouded moors and lonely country lanes which so
  frequently feature in folk horror tales? In this talk\, Professor Marisa 
 Linton uncovers the strange and compelling history of folk horror in the B
 ritish Isles - from eerie legends rooted in pagan belief to tales shaped b
 y the land itself\, its forgotten rituals\, sacred sites and unsettling pa
 st.\n\nTracing a line from whispered folklore through the chilling ghost s
 tories of M. R. James and Arthur Conan Doyle\, and on to Gothic classics s
 uch as Bram Stoker’s Dracula\, we will explore how folk horror has conti
 nually reinvented fear for new generations. From The Wicker Man and Witchf
 inder General\, to modern stories of outsiders stumbling upon remote commu
 nities still ruled by “old ways\,” the genre has never stopped evolvin
 g. Today\, folk horror is experiencing a revival\, as writers and filmmake
 rs breathe fresh life into ancient legends\, revealing that the uncanny is
  very much alive and thriving in the twenty-first century.\n\n**Doors open
  at 8:15pm\, talk starts at 8:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!*
