Is it the writing of M.R. James and Alan Garner? Is it the television scripts of Nigel Kneale, John Bowen and David Rudkin, the films of David Gladwell and The Blood on Satan's Claw? Or could it be the Paranoid Public information films of the 1970s; The Advisory Cirlce reminding us to 'Mind how you go!'; or perhaps a contemporary storu of the two hit-men caught unknowingly in a class-saturated ritual of violence? Interest in the ancient, the occult, and the "wyrd" is on the rise. The furrows of Robin Hardy (The Wicker Man), Piers Haggard (Blood on Satan's Claw), and Michael Reeves (Witchfinder General) have arisen again, most notably in the films of Ben Wheatley (Kill List), as has the Spirit of Dark of Lonely Water, Juganets, cursed Saxon crowns, spaceships hidden under ancient barrows, owls and flowers, time-warping stone circles, wicker men, the goat of Mendes, and malicious stone tapes. Folk Horror: Hours Dreadful And Things Strange charts the summoning of these esoteric arts within the latter half of the twentieth century and beyond, using theories of psychogeography, hauntology, and topography to delve into the genre's output in film, television, and multimedia as its "sacred demon of ungovernableness" rises yet again in the twenty-first century." -- Publisher's description 650 0 $a Horror films $z Great Britain $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Horror television programs $z Great Britain $x History and criticism. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103014812.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710062725.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BCF086CAA80111E7B9D4614397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
