Episode 130: All the Haunted Seasons Be Ours: Folk Horror and Ghost Stories with Kier-La Janisse and Sean Hogan
It's time for more Horror for the Holidays, and this year, we have double the chills and thrills to celebrate! First, the tradition of telling ghost stories for Christmas gets a new annual series from Severin Films called The Haunted Season, and the first episode streams on Shudder through December, with a new film every Christmas season! My guests are acclaimed author, producer, and filmmaker Kier-La Janisse (Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror, House of Psychotic Women), the show's creator and executive producer, and director Sean Hogan (The Devil’s Business, England's Screaming), who wrote and directed this year's offering, To Fire You Come at Last. And if that isn't enough, Kier-La and Severin recently released the much-anticipated box set, ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS: A COMPENDIUM OF FOLK HORROR VOLUME TWO, containing 24 films representing 18 countries! Join Kier-La, Sean, and me as we talk about the intersection of folk horror, folklore, ghost stories, diverse traditions and myths worldwide, the movies they inspire, and at least a dozen horror obsessions! I hope you enjoy the show!
