Just in time for Halloween, the Sad Girls are discussing two internet-centered films, Pulse (2006) and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (2021), and explore how they fit into the Folk Horror canon. How do internet-native urban legends shift our perception of folklore today?

  Welcome to the most wonderful time of the year, listeners! We’re celebrating the best way we know how, by talking about horror movies. But not just any kind of horror, we’re delving into folk horror and exploring what makes the genre so disturbing. This week we’re watching both versions of The Wicker Man (1973 and 2006), the first film that comes to mind when we think of folk horror. Become a patron: https://patreon.com/sadgirlsyllabus
