Starting with an exploration of William, the chapter argues that the film pulls a sleight-of-hand, setting him up as the main character before slowly revealing the protagonist to be Thomasin. The characterization of Black Phillip is treated, along with a brief discussion of his appropriation by popular culture.","PeriodicalId":341205,"journal":{"name":"The Witch","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124222522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While folk horror is most often associated with British films such as The Wicker Man (1973) and Witchfinder General (1968), the chapter argues for particular traditions of New England folk horror, as evident in films such as The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941) and The Blair Witch Project (1999).","PeriodicalId":341205,"journal":{"name":"The Witch","volume":"302 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128785346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
