SUMMARY:The History of Folk Horror
LOCATION:Bridgwater Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Discover how folk horror explores haunted landscapes\, hidden h
 istories\, and why the past still unsettles us today. Followed by Q&A.\n\n
 Why do specific locations and landscapes remain associated with fear and G
 othic storytelling? When we talk about folk horror\, we’re really talkin
 g about places and stories that don’t just sit quietly in the background
 \; they press on the imagination. They make the past feel close\, and some
 times uncomfortably alive.\n\nJoin Prof Robert Edgar as he traces how the 
 term folk horror became popular\, exploring its first wave in the 1970s th
 rough to today\, before looking back to its roots in the 18th and 19th cen
 turies. From Thomas Hardy to The Wicker Man and beyond\, we will consider 
 how writers and filmmakers return again and again to the idea that the pas
 t is never truly past. Together\, we’ll explore how these stories show t
 hat the past continues to influence the present\, and that early experienc
 es\, including those from childhood\, can still affect us today.\n\nDoors 
 open at 7:30pm\, talk starts at 8pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
