@tonydunnell.bsky.socialIf you're a #folkhorror fan, watch Penda's Fen (1974), a strange but brilliant British #TV play that explores English identity, homosexual awakenings, pagan history and modern authority. Can see its influence on directors like Ben Wheatley, Robert Eggers and Ari Aster.

@cheekighost.bsky.social9. Bad Omen - In Mexican culture, owls are harbingers of death or disguised brujas. I will say that I don't like the stigmas of certain animals being tied to bad luck or bad omens. They're animals and should not be slaughtered due to superstition. So I drew a normal owl.
@blackorchardgames.comBacks turned to the camera, faces turned to the work. THE HIDDEN: AMERICA is 1930s America the way it actually looked — folklore is what happened after hours.
@therealjackfinn.bsky.social2026 folk horror has questions.
These books don’t just take you somewhere you shouldn’t go.
They make you decide what you’d do once you’re there.
