How To Run Folk Horror in D&D!
Folk Horror is one of the most overlooked yet effective horror genres for Dungeons & Dragons. In today’s video, we explore how to run Folk Horror in D&D using isolated communities, strange traditions, unsettling rituals, forgotten beliefs, rural horror, cults, folklore, and hidden monsters. Drawing inspiration from classics like The Blair Witch Project and even Scooby Doo, we’ll discuss atmosphere, worldbuilding, monsters, combat, community secrets, and the psychological techniques that make Folk Horror so effective at the tabletop. If you’ve ever searched for how to run horror in D&D, how to create a creepy village, how to use cults in Dungeons & Dragons, or how to make your players uncomfortable without relying on jump scares, this guide will help you bring Folk Horror to life in your next campaign!
