Folk horror is set in remote, isolated areas where nature — and the superstitions of the locals — hold sway. Think: The Wicker Man and Midsommar. It is perfect, spooky, autumnal viewing.
The 1973 movie The Wicker Man helped kick off the subgenre known as "folk horror." The film, about a sinister pagan ritual on a remote Scottish island, has scared horror fans for five decades.
