Since I’m on the verge of hitting the big 60 next year and have been a horror film fan most of my life, watching as many different films as possible over those 6 decades, one would think that I’d be close to seeing everything, right! WRONG! Therein lies the beauty of the horror genre, or really cinema in general. If they stopped making movies today, we would still not be able to see all the films out there that we haven’t seen yet. And to prove this, is the latest stunning box set announced by Severin Films today, All Haunts be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror Vol. 2.
The first set was amazing enough, especially with the deep diving documentary Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched, that opened up the doors to so many films. And now, Severin has done it again with volume 2, that features 13 discs, with 24 international folk horror classics! As I mentioned, I’ve been in the game a long time and there were many of these titles that I was not familiar with at all. That is why I never get tired of the horror genre. There is always more to discover.
With over 55 hours of combined hours of new and archival special features, which includes 19 different audio commentaries, countless interviews and featurettes, you will have more than your hands full digging through this massive set. It also contains a 252-page hardcover book of newly commissioned folk horror fiction that includes works from Ramsey Campbell, Cassandra Khaw, and Eden Royse, with illustrations by Drazen Kozjan.
