While the genre was most common in Britain in TheSixties and TheSeventies (around the same time British folk ''music'' was having a moment of its own), folk horror can be from any region or any time, and there has been a "Folk Horror Revival" in the 2010s and '20s as these tropes come back into prominence along with the rise of UsefulNotes/NeoPaganism.
Regardless of when it's made, folk horror is always deeply rooted in the concept of the past. Therefore, when it's not an outright PeriodPiece, a lot of folk horror will feature a modern CityMouse protagonist suddenly confronted with a forgotten and violent past -- usually by traveling to a more rural, tradition-bound locale like a TownWithADarkSecret. Sometimes it's the other way around, with cozy modernity itself being invaded by some ancient danger.

UsefulNotes/NeoPaganism. In particular, it's worth singling out the horror films of Southeast Asia, where folk horror has been the default mode as long as cinema has existed in that part of the world, drawing from the many creepy monsters and evil magicians of [[Myth/PhilippineMythology Philippine]], [[Myth/MalaysianMythology Malaysian]], and [[Myth/ThaiMythology Thai]] folklore.
