I both hate and love the title for my @MidlandsMovies coverage of #darknessinthefields...
Hate it because I didn't come up with it myself.

"It's a smart, at times very gruesome, horror movie with excellent practical effects"
Shown at this weekend's Darkness in the Fields film fest in Derby, @Matthew_Tilt reviews #AllYouNeedIsDeath due out in UK cinemas 19 April

Paul Duane's All You Need is Death takes it's Irish folklore origins and builds a progressively creepy, body horror-esque story that has you checking the background of every shot, even if the ending just quite hit a home run

After the #DarknessintheFields event yesterday Iโm giving the plotting of my folk horror WIP a good going over, lots of great ideas generated from sessions with @AlexDavis1981 @el_stevie and @TracyFahey - thanks all
Really enjoyed the Folk Horror Day today. Lots to think about as I start to plan future projects. #Darknessinthefields
Two areas to explore in terms of the future of folk horror: urban settings (is Candyman folk horror?), and the digital realm in the way of creepy pasta and the digital campfire
#DarknessInTheFields
Wrapping up the sessions, @AlexDavis1981 asks if there is a link between difficult times/times of upheaval and the appeal of folk horror?
And is the genre a comment on nostalgia? It shows it's not all it's cracked up to be...
#DarknessInTheFields
Headed for the end of #DarknessInTheFields; chatting historical fiction eccentricities in the final break. Next up: organiser @AlexDavis1981 will look at the past and future of folk horror...
@CoyHallBooks Get into the ideas of the past, they can/will be different from modern world. In the Middle Ages, people would believe you saw a ghost. Strange Histories by Darren Oldridge has an entire chapter on animal trials - putting animals on trial for eg murder!
#DarknessInTheFields
Understanding the ideas of cause and effect for your time period is important for character motivation in a historical context, says @CoyHallBooks
#DarknessInTheFields
The external world can be easily found in general histories of a time period, but the internal world is more difficult. Seek out "cultural history" non-fiction books to understand people's values, ideas of right & wrong, what constitutes cruelty or not.
#DarknessInTheFields
@CoyHallBooks advises you practice focused reading for research, and read multiple books across both fiction and non-fiction to add depth to the world. You want to access both the external or outside world, as well as the internal world of the time period.
#DarknessInTheFields
Pick a time period that suits you - that you're willing to learn about, you're curious about, you're passionate about - and that suits the story too. Consider lesser-known time periods, too; there are lots of well-worn tracks in historical horror!
#DarknessInTheFields
Why is it so appealing to set a folk horror story in the past? @CoyHallBooks says the remoteness of the past, the escapism and the opportunity to confront the idea that people of the past are ignorant or irrational.
#DarknessInTheFields
The final guest presenter for #DarknessInTheFields today is author and historian @CoyHallBooks, talking about writing folk horror in historical settings.
Only once you have figured out the belief system can you start on the protagonist - they're an incomer, so what do they make of it?
#DarknessInTheFields
We live in lands rich in lore; it's there for the taking. Go back to the source & examine, ask if there's something you can use - curse, blessing, invocation. But also think how, when, why & where rituals are enacted as that will be pivotal - @TracyFahey at #DarknessInTheFields
Why are we seeing such a resurgence in folk horror today? The social and economic conditions are quite like the last time of rising...
