Folk Horror of Asia (Part I) | "The Colonial Gothic"

Подробнее о видео

Welcome back, Genre Fans! This is the first of three videos examining different motifs in folk horror across South, Southeast, and East Asia. Specifically, we zero in on what we term "the colonial gothic": a mode of horror created from a history of colonization in India by the British Raj. In the next episode, we will focus on ghosts, demons, and monsters :)
