RUPERT RUSSELL, son of the madly creative genius Ken Russell, goes into detail about the process of developing THE LAST SACRIFICE (2024), a phenomenally enjoyable documentary examining the links connecting a macabre 1940s murder mystery with a renewal of interest in British paganism and the birth of folk horror films in the 60s & 70s… it’s the true crime genre meets The Wicker Man!

Writer and director AISLINN CLARKE talks about making the moody, spooky Irish-language folk horror film FRÉWAKA (2024)! She explains how her own upbringing in Northern Ireland informed the film’s depiction of the melding of folkloric and Catholic beliefs and imagery…

Because there’s a bunch of incredible interviews this issue focusing on creatives who’ve helped to conceptualise or build such famed folk horror critters as Pumpkinhead and Rawhead Rex, Imaginator contributor Noah Kneal has written a big tie-in article called HERE BE MONSTERS, which looks at some of the monstrous creatures of myth and legend that’ve stomped and stalked and slithered their way through folk horror flicks over the years; Noah selects his favourites!
