Podcasts about folk horror

We are featuring a feed drop from a brilliant show on the RQ Network: Hi Nay. "Hi Nay” is an atmospheric, analog-style horror audio drama, featuring Folk Horror, mythology and chilling supernatural terrors in an urban setting.Hi Nay, literally translated to “Hi Mom”, follows Mari, a Filipina immigrant who lives in Toronto. Mari first gets roped into Toronto's supernatural crises after saving Laura from being killed. From then on, she assists Detectives Donner and Murphy in dealing with supernatural threats using her upbringing as a babaylan (Shaman). Mari finds herself dealing with a multitude of supernatural issues in Toronto. She has a great aptitude for magic, though her abilities seem to have a price she's not forthcoming about. She calls her Nanay (mother) often and recounts her experiences over the phone. This exciting audio drama is filled with Mystery, Suspense, and most importantly, Horror.Introduction and outro by Shahan Hamza.

Please welcome to A Year In Horror, special guests The Adams Family, a crack squad of film makers that share bloodlines. We chat about their 2022, masterwork, H6LLB6ND6R. Not only that but they are in a band that features in the movie & would you believe it. They named that Hellbender. What's in a name?   

We have more Mike Flanagan news this week. With the release date of his Carrie series we discuss what we would like to see from the show. Predator: Badlands recently released on Hulu and did record numbers. We talk about what this means for the franchise. We have been lucky to cover some fantastic true crime documentaries on our humble little podcast. We have also seen some great folk horror. We never thought the two would come together. The Last Sacrifice does just that in a surprising documentary. There have been plenty of movies that have been moving along nicely when they suddenly lose the plot. Things become a mess at that point and it is pretty much impossible to get things back on track. A strong argument can be made that The Last Sacrifice loses its way. But it is one of the most fascinating tangents you will ever see. And it ultimately does tie into the greater mystery. The Dreadful will draw lots of attention for its casting of Kit Harrington and Sophie Turner. But it is a performance from another actor that steals the show. The film covers some deep themes and is bolstered by its fantastic setting. But one missed opportunity prevents it from being something truly special. A character driven psychological horror, The Dreadful does not necessarily need a Big Bad, but when it introduces one, it is hard not to expect more from it. And to be supremely disappointed when nothing comes of it. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

In this episode of How I Met Your Monster, we kick off our Scary Tales triple feature by diving into Neil Jordan's 1984 horror film The Company of Wolves. Inspired by Angela Carter's reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood, this surreal fairy-tale nightmare blends werewolves, dream logic, and body-horror transformations into one of the strangest films of the decade.We break down the film's seven monster reveals, unsettling werewolf transformation effects, and its controversial themes around puberty, repression, folklore, and gender roles. From wolves peeling out of human skin to dream-within-a-dream storytelling, The Company of Wolves challenges traditional fairy tales and refuses simple interpretations.Along the way, we connect the film to classic werewolf lore, fairy-tale history (Charles Perrault), and other surreal horror films that prioritize vibes over clarity. Is The Company of Wolves a feminist fairy tale? A disturbing coming-of-age story? Or just an aggressively weird werewolf movie? We don't fully agree—and that's the point.

In keeping with the tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas, we offer you this expertly crafted submission from our sister podcast Haunted UK Fiction... Find this and over two dozen more stories on Haunted UK Fiction: https://linktr.ee/hauntedukfictionMy father was in a strange mood that day. He welcomed me with genuine warmth and appeared, to me at least, quite comfortable and content in his soft armchair and his cup perched delicately on the left knee. His words, however, were of the most serious sort; he betrayed no emotion by stating the facts clearly and with a certain stiff formality. I was informed that he had something very important to tell… Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK which features original flash fiction, short stories, and novellas with paranormal themes. All stories you will hear were written by a collection of talented writers, authors, and storytellers, both independent and professional.In today's episode we'll be reading The Overcoat, an eerie, spine-tingling tale which was sent in to us by LD Brown. LD Brown lives in the village of Hawkshead, Cumbria with his wife and too many cats. They own a beer shop together. For the past seven years, he has been running Ghost Walks in the village under the name: Tallow Tales; The Hawkshead Ghost Walk. Twice weekly he takes visitors around the village, regaling them with stories of local folklore. This also gives him the opportunity to wear a top hat. In his free time, LD writes horror stories and has been fortunate enough to get a few published here and there. His fiction is influenced by the bleaker side of the Lake District landscape; rainy, dripping woodlands, mosses, tarns, wetlands and their sinister ilk. His literary influences include Arthur Machen, MR James, EF Benson, JH Riddel and Algernon Blackwood. He also enjoys Folk Horror films and Peter Cushing.We truly hope you enjoy this unsettling, atmospheric tale that is reminiscent of times gone by. If you would like to hear more from LD Brown, you can find his contact information, current and upcoming work, both as an author and as a ghostly tour guide, and follow him on social media with the links below:Upcoming Works: LD Brown is hoping to get a collection of his short fiction published in the near future.

Anglo Saxon heathenism the polytheistic beliefs of the Anglo Saxons before Christianisation centred on a sacred, animistic relationship with nature, worship of gods such as Wōden, Thunaer and Frēo, and veneration of sacred groves and pillar-like objects like the Irminsul. Folk Horror draws heavily on that same soil the fear of the wild, the power of ancient gods (or at least the suggestion of them), the sense that the land itself might remember or punish, and that archaic rituals and pagan rites leave a shadow from the past. In other words Folk Horror often dramatises a world where the pre Christian beliefs and taboos of peoples like the Saxons are not safely buried with time but instead linger in the landscape, seeping into isolated villages or forgotten woodlands. That lingering past becomes a source of dread the “folk” are not just people, but memory, land-spirits, and uncanny religious forces that refuse to die.

We'll break down the plot, examine its production history, and look at its place in the folk horror pantheon.

Sarah Poko is a Nigerian-Canadian playwright, screenwriter, and director who uses horror and folklore to reflect society back unto itself. From a young age, she was captivated by the folktales told by her grandmother and the myths she discovered from her travels around the world. An avid storyteller, Sarah uses the supernatural to examine power, identity, and moral consequence in everyday life. Her debut stage play, Chalkdust, explored the themes of alienation and powerlessness brought on by the modern-day eldritch horrors that we call the immigration system. Her latest horror screenplay, Chicken Feet, which was recently featured in a WIP reading with Villains Theatre, earned praise for its sharp imagery and cultural fusion. Sarah is passionate about stories that blur the line between fear, truth, and the seemingly insignificant choices we make in everyday life. She invites audiences to confront their own truths and fears, both within and around them. Learn more @aesops_daughter

Send us a Question!MOVIE DISCUSSION: Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss Osgood Perkins' second movie of 2025, Keeper!

But, I do intend to trim this episode down from its original 1:44:01 length, so if you want to hear the UNCUT version, tune in on Patreon here!Because the trailers didn't seem representative of the final product, Melvin pitches the movie a little differently by explaining what the movie actually is.Kathryn and Melvin get the impression that Osgood Perkins isn't so much interested in characters as he is the film as a whole, and thus his work is often vibes-heavy.Osgood Perkins, from Melvin's perspective, creates dense films that often appear simple.Kathryn felt the overly-exposited third-act somewhat muddled the film.Talking about some recurrent visuals and motifs, like the water and the dream sequences.Specifically talking about what Melvin is calling the "Mini Minka" scene.Discussing the line, "We are your children and all the women that came before you."Recommendations: The Devil You Know with Sarah Marshall (Podcast)Occult (2009) (Movie)Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

It's Night 10 of 13 Nights of Halloween, and we're heading to the eerie, windswept fields of Iceland for one of the strangest entries in modern folk horror: Lamb (2021). Directed by Valdimar Jóhannsson and starring Noomi Rapace, this slow-burn A24 film blends rural isolation, ancient superstition, and deep emotional grief—with a sheep-headed child at the center of it all. Is it horror? Is it a tragedy? Is it just really, really boring? We're diving in. Join Tim and Johnathan as they discuss the production, symbolism, awards buzz, and why Lamb has become one of the most polarizing movies in recent folk horror.

What would you sacrifice for the perfect vintage? Can ancient pagan rituals and biodynamic winemaking create something truly extraordinary—or terrifying?

Spooky cinema is at an all-time commercial peak, and in recent years, folk horror -- a subgenre of horror focusing on nature, isolation and paranoia -- has taken over the mainstream. Its frights are derived from the scariest villain of all: ourselves. But the genre isn't new. So why are these stories resonating with so many horror fans right now?

In part 2 of our celebration of Folk Horror, Shawn, Travis, Joey, and Todd gather to discuss post-2000 Folk Horror movies and their resurgence in popularity.

Welcome back to Geekz 31 Days of Horror!

When Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) arrives on a remote Scottish island to investigate the disappearance of a young girl, he finds a community deeply devoted to pagan rituals and ancient fertility traditions.

Ein Reigen im Sonnenuntergang, ein Steinkreis auf der Waldlichtung, Blumen im Haar, das Ritual beginnt. Seit einigen Jahren beschreibt "Folk-Horror" unseren Grusel vor dem Archaischen. Ist die Natur belebt? Ist die Kultur oppressiv? Kommt das Unterdrückte zurück? Können uns Aufklärung und Vernunft hier draußen nicht mehr helfen? In dieser Genre-Folge sprechen Christian, Christoph und Clara Atlanta über "Folk-Horror" anhand von "Wicker Man", "Kwaidan" & "Blair Witch Project" und fragen sich, was genau eigentlich das Gruselige an der Folklore ist. Außerdem geht es um "Witchfinder General", "Blood on Satan's Claw", "Häxan", "Midsommar", "The Witch", "Longlegs" und "Weapons".

Step into the Halloween spirit with Jon Lee Brody and Alex Cardoza as they revisit the bold and misunderstood 'Halloween III: Season of the Witch.' In this episode of 'That Was Pretty Scary,' Jon takes you back to 1982 when audiences were left scratching their heads at the absence of Michael Myers, and explores the cult following that this daring film has since garnered. Dive into the film's unique take on Halloween lore, its commentary on consumerism, media brainwashing, and the fascinating behind-the-scenes stories. Join the discussion on how experimental horror can earn a timeless, albeit delayed, appreciation.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
