H is for ‘Hear the Children Sing’ in my #folkhorroralphabet a Lungfish cover by Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Nathan Salsburg and Tyler Trotter. It’s a haunting creeping mantra, working its spidery fingers into our wretched souls.

F is for ‘First Utterance’ in my #folkhorroralphabet the acid folk album by Comus released 1971. I have a lot of unsettling records but this one is wildly unhinged to the point of disturbing and more than befitting of the folk horror label.

D is for ‘Dr Who: The Daemons’ in my #folkhorroralphabet originally screened in 1971. The episodes feature demons, morris dancers, witches and a maypole; a whole host of folk horror elements to gorge upon.

C is for ‘Carnival of Souls’ in my #folkhorroralphabet released in 1962 and directed by Herk Harvey. It’s a low budget cult classic, unsettling period Americana that inspired directors like David Lynch and George Romero.
