minus-squareI_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 days agoI 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.
