Sometimes, the most terrifying monsters aren't lurking in the shadows, but in the very heart of our world. In this episode of Horror Joy, we delve into the eerie world of folk horror, where ancient myths and environmental fears intertwine.
We'll explore:
- The Appalachian Nightmare: How the exploitation of the Appalachian landscape has given rise to terrifying folklore and real-world consequences.
- The Blair Witch Project: The unsettling power of place and the psychological terror of the woods.
- Old Gods of Appalachia: The ancient evil lurking beneath the surface of the Kentucky hills.
Join us as we trek through these haunted landscapes and confront the monsters that dwell within.
