Ah yes, see, Picnic At Hanging Rock is what I'd call Australian Gothic, BUT yes, the spiritual element could take it into the 'folk' territory. It's sooo nuanced, isn't it? In Australian gothic, it's the unknown and lonely aspect of the landscape that makes it, recalling the terror of the coloniser in a hostile world. And then there is the indigeneous unknown on the periphery. I haven't seen Lake Mungo - my sister went and visited hte area last year and it's on our lists of places to go.

Yes, I saw Texas CM at 13 accidentally at a sleepover - went to the toilet and cried until Mum came and got me. I couldn't watch horror again for years and years and years after than - and now, I'm kinda really choosy about what I watch.
