FolknHell is the camp-fire you shouldn’t have wandered up to: a loud, spoiler-packed podcast where three unapologetic cine-goblins – host Andy Davidson and his horror-hungry pals David Hall & Dave Houghton, decide two things about every movie they watch: 1, is it folk-horror, and 2, is it worth your precious, blood-pumping time.

Frequently Asked Questions About FolknHell
What is FolknHell about and what kind of topics does it cover?
FolknHell offers spoiler-filled, three-host conversations that probe whether a film fits folk horror and whether it's worth a listener's time.

The trio frequently riffs with banter and friendly disagreement, delivering dense, cult-leaning analysis with humor and a clear affection for European folk-horror and related mythologies.
