Severin Films Unveils - All the Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror Volume 2

Severin Films is back to haunt your dreams with the highly anticipated follow-up to their most successful box set to date. All the Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror Volume 2 promises to be a dark and immersive journey, showcasing 24 films from 18 different countries. This set dives deep into the heart of folk horror, offering a mix of beloved classics, forgotten gems, and never-before-seen treasures, many of which are making their disc debuts.

AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER EXCLUSIVELY AT SEVERINFILMS.COM FOR $289.95 SRP

Among the standout features of this collection are the North American Disc Premieres of two Severin Films Original Productions: To Fire You Come at Last, directed by Sean Hogan, and Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic, a documentary helmed by David Gregory. The latter will make its World Premiere at the prestigious Sitges Film Festival on October 12th, setting the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable experience for horror aficionados.

Producer Kier-La Janisse, known for her critically acclaimed work on Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched, once again curates this extraordinary collection. “The first ‘All the Haunts…’ was an incredibly ambitious set, but for this collection, we wanted to go a bit further afield,” says Janisse. I’m really happy with the broad range of regions and perspectives we were able to include, and the many international collaborators who made it all possible.”

This monumental box set not only delivers hours of cinematic terror but also includes over 55 hours of new and archival special features. Fans can look forward to trailers, interviews, audio commentaries, short films, video essays, historical analyses, and even bonus feature-length films. Additionally, the collection includes a 252-page hardcover book filled with newly commissioned folk horror fiction from authors such as Ramsey Campbell, Cassandra Khaw, and Eden Royce, with haunting illustrations by Drazen Kozjan.

David Gregory, Severin Films President and Co-Founder, adds, “With Volume Two, Kier-La and our team have now gone even deeper and further than before with a global collection that’s equal parts discovery, exploration, and dark celebration of Folk Horror. We’re enormously proud to unleash its spirit upon the world.”

Prepare yourself for an otherworldly exploration into the eerie and the obscure with All the Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium of Folk Horror Volume 2, available soon from Severin Films.
