SUMMARY:The History of Folk Horror
LOCATION:Merlin Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Explore the shadowy history of folk horror and its connection t
 o ancient customs and rituals on the British Isles. Followed by Q&A.\n\nWh
 y do stories of ghosts\, witches and shapes in the night continue to haunt
  our imaginations? What is it about those ancient landscapes\, ruined chur
 ches\, mist-shrouded moors and lonely country lanes which so frequently fe
 ature in folk horror tales? In this talk\, Professor Marisa Linton uncover
 s the strange and compelling history of folk horror in the British Isles -
  from eerie legends rooted in pagan belief to tales shaped by the land its
 elf\, its forgotten rituals\, sacred sites and unsettling past.\n\nTracing
  a line from whispered folklore through the chilling ghost stories of M. R
 . James and Arthur Conan Doyle\, and on to Gothic classics such as Bram St
 oker’s Dracula\, we will explore how folk horror has continually reinven
 ted fear for new generations. From The Wicker Man and Witchfinder General
 \, to modern stories of outsiders stumbling upon remote communities still 
 ruled by “old ways\,” the genre has never stopped evolving. Today\, fo
 lk horror is experiencing a revival\, as writers and filmmakers breathe fr
 esh life into ancient legends\, revealing that the uncanny is very much al
 ive and thriving in the twenty-first century.\n\nDoors open at 7pm\, talk
