This article examines the folkloresque links between folk horror and folklore s disciplinary history and development, developing definitions of the subgenre and extending our understanding of popular culture s representational dependence on folkloristics. KEYWORDS: folk horror, folkloresque, history of folklore, witchcraft, paganism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
