Analysing Existing Horror Film Names/Titles - Folk Horror


I have already looked at the names/titles for a number of existing horror films and made a note of any patterns. Now I have decided to focus more specifically on folk horror, I am going to look at titles of films from that sub-genre, to help me decide on a name for my film.

'Midsommar'


'The Wicker Man'


'Apostle'


'Witchfinder General'


'Starve Acre'


'The Blood on Satan's Claw'


'A Field in England'


'The Ritual'


'Enys Men'


'Lamb'


'Kill List'


'The Witch'


'You Won't Be Alone'


'Gretel and Hansel'


Titles or names for folk horror films often share the following conventions:
  • titles are frequently short, often including only one or two words 
  • include words related to rituals or ceremonies
  • refer to witches or witchcraft
