All the Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium Of Folk Horror Vol. 2 offers 24 movies from 18 countries, many of them making their debuts on blu ray, along with 55+ hours of special features and a 252-page hardcover book of new folk horror fiction by Ramsey Campbell, Cassandra Khaw and Eden Royce with illustrations by Drazen Kozjan.

Curated and produced by Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched creator Kier-La Janisse, this set builds on the initial box to go deeper, finding films that I’ve always wanted to see as well as several that were until now unknown to me, including:

There’s also a gorgeous book that gives an overview of each movie, so if this is your first time entering the world of folk horror, you’ll have a guide. I’d been so excited that Litan and The Ninth Heart were being released by Severin but as I’ve watched the set, I’ve discovered several new favorites along the way.

With no hyperbole, I would say that this is an essential set, whether you are a physical media collector, a horror lover or just want to watch something different. The fact that the world is a much smaller place now thanks to the internet has allowed us to watch movies in perfect versions that we’d only heard of or read of in books. At best, we would see fifth generation VHS tapes that were so filled with static and noise that often we couldn’t see the image and unless you spoke the native tongue, you’d have no idea what was happening.

This set gifts us with near-perfect transfers of these films along with subtitles and bonus features to give us better insight into what we’re watching. Plus, the box art design by Luke Insect carries through the booklet that holds all of the discs. What an overall package by Severin, who have been pushing the standards of their releases with each new offering.
