Fairytale and Folk Horror Movies That Are Superb!

January 21, 2021 by Red Stewart

Marvelous Videos presents fairy tale and folk horror nightmares…

Human imagination knows no bounds. Authors and storytellers from many generations have been able to conjure up some of the most visceral and creative images of all time. Locations are brought to vivid life thanks to attention to detail, fictional beings feel distinctly alive thanks to avid descriptions, and moral lessons seems genuinely earned thanks to strong prose.

Fairy tales and folktales are great for imparting values, but they are equally as good for terrifying audiences. Children are the usual targets, but several horror directors have expanded that take to adults. Thanks to Marvelous Videos, we have 10 of these worth viewing; check out the video here…
