Join Profs and Pints Northern Virginia at Highline RxR for “The Power of Folk Horror,” a deep dive into one of horror’s most haunting subgenres. Led by VCU lecturer Joshua Barton, this talk explores the roots of folk horror in films like The Wicker Man and its modern resurgence in The Witch and Midsommar.
Learn how folklore, rural isolation, and ancient traditions create lasting psychological fear—and why these stories resonate more than ever today.
