You Dig? Horror, The British Landscape and the Counterculture

In this paper I discuss three now little known, or rather cult horror movies (depending on your taste and field) made in the U.K.. I’d like to discuss them in relation to how their characters and how their plots can be explored in relation to the landscape in which they take place, and to the protagonists’ countercultural attitudes and appearances and the particular political world in which they were produced. Each features an unearthing or haunting of their landscapes as a political act, as central to their narratives.
