Folk Horror

Fear Source: The old world that never left.


Introduction


Folk horror draws its power from landscape, ritual, and inherited belief. It often unfolds in rural or isolated settings where ancient customs persist beneath modern skin. The terror comes from collision—outsider versus community, present versus past, reason versus ritual.

It whispers: You were never alone here. You just forgot who else lives on this land.

Core elements:

  • Isolated countryside or village

  • Pagan or pre-Christian rites

  • Community secrecy

  • Inevitable sacrifice
