    I want more of this type of horror. Why does all horror have to be modern or sci-fi?

    We have so much history we could be exploring with it! Off the top of my head you could have…

    A squadron of Roman soldiers, lost in a haunted forest, struggling to survive/escape as spirits pick them off one by one.

    A young Irish sheep herder who accidentally wanders into the Fae realm.

    A pair of pre-colonial Native Americans out on a vision quest who become hunted by a skinwalker.

    A trader during the Islamic Golden Age encountering an evil djinn.

    Monks in ancient China band together to protect their village from a dragon.

    Ancient Sumerian demons.

    Aztec shamans performing dark rituals.

    Pacts with Babylonian gods in ancient Babylon.
