Folk Horror: A Quiet Place in the Country

The older I get the more fascinated I am with rural folk horror. Tales of Witches, occultism, haunted landscapes, legends, cults, human sacrifice, sex, and paganism. I usually start watching these in late summer leading up to the Harvest festival my town has every October.
