HELL-TOR FILM FESTIVAL

Demon Hounds | Mark Norman

Dartmoor has long held a tradition of ‘demon hounds’. Mark Norman – author of ‘Black Dog Folklore’ – examines the folklore surrounding Black Dogs, particularly, but not exclusively, in the South West; dog ghosts and various non-physical dogs of British tradition such as grims, shucks, and gytrashes. He will also discuss both threatening and protective folkloristic dogs, as well as dogs in dreams.

HELL-TOR FILM FESTIVAL

A new festival celebrating Dartmoor’s rich history of ghosts, ghouls and witchcraft. The inaugural Hell-Tor film festival will present a weekend of Gothic horror with films, talks and readings inspired by the folklore of the moor.

Hell-Tor is a mixture of classic horror features, shorts, lectures and opportunities to hear renowned genre directors, authors and actors talk openly of their own love of the genre and the regions legacy. It’s time for horror to come home.
